Catalano Acting Studio, Room 172 | UI Theatre Building

The Year Between follows two young men whose lives intersect unexpectedly at a moment when both are quietly confronting their own mortality. What begins as a simple arrangement slowly deepens into something neither of them expected: companionship and a fragile kind of love. But as illness and fear begin to close in, they must decide whether opening their hearts is worth the heartbreak that may follow, or whether the time they share together is enough to matter. 

Approximate run time is 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Guest Roundtable to follow in Room 206.
