About the Show

Two friends, rebellious Melissa Gardner and straight-arrow Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, have exchanged notes, cards, and letters with each other for over 50 years. From second grade, through summer vacations, to college, and well into adulthood, they have spent a lifetime discussing their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, and victories and defeats. But long after the letters are done, the real question remains: Have they made the right choices or is the love of their life only a letter away?

Step into the captivating world of A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters, where the timeless allure of handwritten correspondence unveils a poignant journey through love, loss, and longing. Don’t miss the power of love immortalized on stage in this exquisite theatrical and epistolary masterpiece.
