Love Letters by A.R. Gurney
Starring Amanda McBroom & George Ball
November 23rd at 7:00 p.m.
Love Letters is a play by A. R. Gurney. The play centers on two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, they sit side by side and read the notes, letters and cards – in which they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – that have passed between them throughout their separated lives for over 50 years.
We are thrilled to have the truly fabulous real-life couple
Amanda McBroom and George Ball perform.
November 23rd at 7:00 p.m. Tickets will be available soon.
