About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Explore the five-year relationship between Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress. The show uses a form of storytelling in which Jamie's story is told in chronological order (starting just after the couple have first met) and Cathy's story is told in reverse chronological order (beginning the show at the end of the marriage). The characters do not directly interact except for a wedding song in the middle as their timelines intersect.

Braden Cummins portrays Jamie, and Lauren Hickle portrays Cathy.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, and 2 p.m. Sunday, May 19. Tickets are $15 for general admission (no assigned seating). Doors and the Varsity Bar open 1 hour before performance times.

Performances are at the Varsity, and runtime is approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.

The Last Five Years is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
