THE LAST FIVE YEARS runs June 10-18

THE LAST FIVE YEARS
Presented by Falcon Theater
June 10-18
Newport

The musical traces the five-year relationship of two people who meet, fall in love, get married and finally split apart.  At times touching and beautiful; at others entertaining and even funny, their relationship is told from both individual perspectives.  As one of them relives the relationship from beginning to end, the other remembers it backwards from the ending to the beginning.

ALTAR BOYZ runs June 16-18 in Dayton

ALTAR BOYZ
Presented by Encore Theater Company
June 16-18
Dayton 

ALTAR BOYZ is a foot-stomping, rafter-raising, musical comedy about a fictitious Christian boy-band on the last night of their national “Raise the Praise” tour. The Boyz are five all-singing, all-dancing heartthrobs from Ohio: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham. With their tight harmonies and spectacular choreography, the ALTAR BOYZ will delight you as they perform their signature hits such as “Rhythm In Me,” “The Calling,” and “I Believe.”  The perfect show for those who love (and to love to make fun of) boy bands!
