The Last Wide Open at North Carolina Stage Company

June 19, 2025 - July 13, 2025
07:30PM - 02:00PM

Do you believe in love? North Carolina Stage Company closes their season with a modern musical rom com from Audrey Cefaly and Matthew M. Nielsen loved by critics and audiences alike.

Late one night after closing the restaurant where they both work, Lina and Roberto find themselves in unexpected conversation. This exquisite play with music renders the near hits and misses that are the reality of life for this waitress and immigrant dishwasher as we watch three alternate realities and a love meant to be unfold over the course of the night.

Guided by director Charlie Flynn-McIver and playing their own instruments, actors Arusi Santi and Heather Michele Lawler bring to life Roberto and Lina, navigating language barriers, broken hearts, and cynicism to fall in love over and over again, no matter how many times they test fate.

Bottom Line: The modern, musical love child of Sliding Doors and When Harry Met Sally. Half-price night 6/19, Pay What You Can Night 6/20 Discretionary content: strong language. Recommended for ages 13+
