Both the subject matter and the viewing experience will be a close encounter when the Barton Theatre Department performs the two-person musical “The Last Five Years,” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday in the Barton Community College Fine Arts Auditorium.Seating for the production will be arranged on the stage in a terraced manner (black box style). BCC Theatre Director Erin Renard said this will produce an intimate environment that will complement the personal elements of a story that ingeniously chronicles the five-year life of a marriage, from meeting to break-up, presenting both the man and woman’s point of view.Female lead actress 24-year-old Great Bend student Ashley Dowgwillo said the subject matter is something the average person can relate to.“I think love is what drives a lot of people to do the things that they do,” she said. “Everyone has experienced love in some form, whether it’s a relationship like this or a friendship.”
