Westport Country Playhouse announced that Alec Baldwin and Kelli O'Hara will star in the company's spring gala performance of A.R. Gurney's Love Letters on Thursday, April 12, at 7pm. The fundraising event will honor the memory of the late Gurney, a consistent contributor to the Playhouse stage with 21 works produced from 1980 through 2016.

The production will be directed by Westport's artistic director, Mark Lamos.

A Pulitzer Prize finalist, Love Letters explores the friendship of rebellious artist Melissa Gardner and straitlaced lawyer-turned-politician Andrew Makepeace Ladd III through the letters they write to each other over the course of 50 years.
