Footlight Players to Present “The Last Five Years”
The Footlight Players’ (FLP) new “ACT TWO” theatre series offers smaller, more adult oriented and accessible programming for newcomers and veteran theatre goers alike. The next production in the series is The Last Five Years.
They got engaged on the Queen Street Playhouse stage, were married on that same stage and now share it again as Jamie and Cathy in Jason Robert Brown’s acclaimed relationship musical The Last Five Years in limited run from January 20th to 29th.
Michael Okas and Rebecca Weatherby are no strangers to FLP audiences and will kick off the New Year in this one-of-a-kind mini musical that explores the five-year relationship between Jamie, a rising novelist and Cathy, a struggling actress.The show uses a form of storytelling in which Jamie’s story is told in chronological order, starting right after they meet, with Cathy’s story told in reverse order, starting at the end of their marriage.
Show dates: Jan. 20, 21, 27 & 28 at 7:30 pm and Jan. 29 at 3:00 pm. You can purchase tickets online at: https://web.ovationtix.com/ trs/pr/1132784
