*Lakeland Civic Theatre presents* *The Last Five Years* Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown Directed by Martin Friedman Musical Direction by Jordan Cooper Featuring *Neely Gevaart and Jason Leupold* Sound Designed by Eric Simna Lighting Designed by Christina Pierce Production Stage Manager Reagan Hernon *The Play:* *The Last Five Years* is a musical <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_theatre> written by Jason Robert Brown <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Robert_Brown>. It premiered at Chicago's Northlight Theatre in 2001 and was then produced Off-Broadway <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-Broadway> in March 2002. The story explores a five-year relationship between Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress. The show uses a form of storytelling in which Cathy's story is told in reverse chronological order (beginning the show at the end of the marriage), and Jamie's is told in chronological order (starting just after the couple have first met). The characters do not directly interact except for a wedding song in the middle as their timelines intersect. *Production Dates: **The Last Five Years **will open on Friday, September 16 and run through October 2, 2016. **Friday, September 16 @ 7:30pm Saturday, September 17 @ 7:30pm Sunday, September 18, @ 2:00pm * *Friday, September 23 @ 7:30pm Saturday, September 24 @ 7:30pm Sunday, September 25 @ 2:00pm * *Friday, September 30 @ 7:30pm Saturday, October 1 @ 7:30pm Sunday, October 2 @ 2:00pm * *Tickets:* *$15 for adults, $13 for seniors and $7 for all students.
