AUDITIONS: The Last Five Years

THE LAST 5 YEARS is the story of how two can see one relationship from opposing ends of the love that ties them together. Two people meet, they fall in love, marry, and divorce. If only it was that straightforward.

Produced by Paul Valleau

Directed by Ruben Vellekoop

Music direction by Emily L. Sergo
