Love Letters

by A.R. Gurney | Directed by Gregory R. Brown

As a pre-Valentine’s gift to our patrons, follow Melissa and Andy’s relationship through letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences. As the actors read the letters aloud, what is created is an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling pair of character studies in which what is implied is as revealing and meaningful as what is actually written down.
