THE LAST FIVE YEARS is Now Streaming From Lawton Community Theatre

Lawton Community Theatre is now presenting its streaming production of The Last Five Years.

The stream will be available on demand through May 19 on the theater's website, lawtoncommunitytheatre.com.

"The Last Five Years" is an emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show's unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

LCT's Executive Director Chance Harmon directs the production. Harmon has cast Mikki Hankins as Catherine Hiatt and Bryson Pertersen as Jamie Wellerstein.
