"The Last Five Years" performed by WPAA

September 11, 2022 - Yadkin Cultural Arts Center presents the “The Last Five Years” performed by Willingham Performing Arts Academy. 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. Jamie, an up-and-coming writer, struggles to balance his sudden success with his increasingly tumultuous love life, while Cathy, an aspiring actress, deals with the frustrations of her own stalled career while watching her husband from the sidelines. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy telling her story backwards while Jamie tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show. Cost is $22.00 per person, show starts at 3:00 p.m. Info: Yadkin Arts (336) 679-2941.
