THE LAST FIVE YEARS Comes To The Eagle Theatre 3/4-19

Coming off a highly acclaimed run at the Woodbury Sketch Club, Stage Left Productions will perform the emotionally gripping musical "The Last Five Years" at the Eagle Theatre, located at 208 Vine Street in Hammonton, at 8pm on March 4, 11, 18 and 19, 7pm on March 5 and 12, and 2pm on March 13.

A two-person musical, "The Last Five Years" tells the story of the disintegrating marriage between Jamie, a rising novelist, and his wife Cathy, a struggling actress. The show uses a unique 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.

Directed once again by Ed Santiago, this run of the musical will feature performances by Ed Corsi and Jennie Knackstedt, who will reprise their roles as Jamie and Cathy. Their performance has been praised by critics from around the area, including Jack Shaw of Stage Magazine, who wrote: "'The Last Five Years' is a delicate, sensitive piece...It is the human dilemma of deciding which dream is more important. Heartwarming and touching, it strikes us squarely in our hearts, and hits us right between the eyes."
The compelling score for the show will be performed live by a seven-piece orchestra and conducted by two-time Barrymore Award Nominee Collin Maier. Regarding Maier's role as conductor, Off-Broadway reviewer Karen Torta-Lee wrote: "He and Santiago partner perfectly to direct these two gifted actors to present a jewel of a play."

In addition to the regularly scheduled performances, "The Last Five Years" will also be presented as a dinner show on March 5 and 12. For an extra $10, audiences will be treated to a pasta dinner in the theatre before the show begins.
Tickets for this performance are $20 general admission, and $30 for the dinner performances on March 5 and 12. They can be purchased online at www.theeagletheatre.com, or reserved by calling the box office at (609) 704-5012.
