Rita Moreno and Robert Culp to Star in Love Letters at Centralia Fox Theatre

Tony and Academy Award-winning actress Rita Moreno will join Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Robert Culp in a benefit performance of A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters, to be presented at the Centralia Fox Theatre, in Centralia, Washington, on June 6 at 8 pm. Ted Weiant will direct.

First staged in 1989, Gurney’s two-character play chronicles the relationship of Makepeace Ladd II and Melissa Gardner from second grade through their 50s through the love letters they write each other.

Moreno won the Academy Award for her performance in West Side Story; the Tony Award for The Ritz; the Grammy Award for her recording of The Electric Company; and two Emmy Awards for her television performances in The Rockford Files and The Muppet Show. Culp is best known for his work in the 1960s TV series I Spy, for which he received three Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe nomination.

Presented by Historic Fox Theatre Restorations, proceeds will go to the organization’s ongoing campaign to restore the Fox Theatre back to its 1930 appearance and to a full upgrade of its technical theatrical systems.
