Stage and television veterans Lee Meriwether (Barnaby Jones, All My Children, former Miss America) and James Noble (Benson), star in A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters. Scott M. Robbins directs.
A poignant and romantic comedy, Love Letters traces the relationship between a man and a woman solely through their correspondence. The production follows the bittersweet relationship and love affair of lifelong friends over 50 years through a series of letters. Pen pals for life, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III are childhood sweethearts who meet in the second grade and begin a correspondence that chronicles their entire lives. The story of their relationship gradually unfolds from what is written – and what is left unsaid – in their letters. The words are both hysterical and moving.
On Saturday, June 2 there is a post-show champagne and dessert reception with the show’s stars. Tickets for the show and reception are $50.
