Etherian Theatre Company presents “The Last Five Years” as their first production. All profits from the show will be donated to The Uncle Craig Foundation to support people affected by the flooding and landslides in Grays Harbor County earlier this year.
Jason Robert Brown’s Drama Desk winner, The Last Five Years, has been translated into a handful of languages and was named one of Time Magazine’s 10 best shows of 2001. A testament to the show’s longevity and spurred by the show’s regional popularity, The Last Five Years enjoyed an Off-Broadway revival at Second Stage in 2013. A film adaptation is being released in 2014 starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.
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. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.
This show has adult themes and language, and is intended for mature audience.
Tickets are available online and at the door.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is the world’s largest and most impactful fundraising event to end cancer. It unites communities across the globe to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action to finish the fight once and for all. Today, with the support of thousands of volunteers like you, the American Cancer Society is helping save more than 400 lives a day. And we won’t stop until we finish the fight against cancer! Please join us!
Survivors can register on-line prior to the Relay by going to RelayForLifeofGraysHarbor.org, click on “join” and fill out the form. Or they can call 1-800-227-2345 and do it over the phone. This allows them to not stand in line at Relay to register and get their free t-shirt and 2015 survivor medal — they can just go right to the t-shirt line, tell us they are registered, and get them without waiting. We will have special reserved seating at the Start/Finish line for our Survivors, as well as snacks in the Survivor tent prior to the start of Relay.
“The Goonies” is based on a Spielberg short story, and offers his wild action sequences and fast pacing, made memorable by the enthusiastic and energetic performances of the young cast that populates this adventure. It’s a fantastical take on a traditional tale of buried pirate treasure, told with a slice-of-life approach that has these kids using real-life teenage dialogue, something still not heard much in films back in 1985.
The cast includes some young actors who would later grow into sizeable roles: Sean Astin, who later played Samwise Gamgee in the “Lord of the Rings” movie trilogy, Josh Brolin, whose dozens of credits include President George W. Bush in “W,” and Martha Plimpton, who has starred in TV’s “Raising Hope” since 2010. Several familiar characters round out the cast: heavies Robert Davi and Joe Pantoliano, pro footballer John Matuszak and Anne Ramsey, famous for “Throw Mama From the Train.” Most of the film was shot in Astoria, OR, and nearby Cannon Beach.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. show.
Advance tickets are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com and at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen.
