This musical production is directed by senior theatre major, Chloe Lu McCarty. The show stars Robert Lewis and Reagan Frankhouser in the lead roles of Jamie and Cathy. All aspects of the show from production to promotion are managed by students.
“The audience should expect to see the story of a relationship in which the man, Jamie, tells the story from beginning to end and the woman, Cathy, tells the story from the end to the beginning. They meet in the middle at their wedding,” says McCarty. “I hope the audience will see this couple’s ever-growing love and destruction all at the same time.”
There is limited seating in the Black Box Theatre, so online ticket purchase is suggested. Tickets will be available at the door if a show is not sold out.
