.

 

 

 

This event features real life married actors, Jessica Chesbro and Matt Austin.  Created to be performed as an engaging staged reading, LOVE LETTERS was first performed in 1988 at the New York Public Library and then at Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven before running on Broadway in 1989 and again in 2014.  It tells the story of Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, who exchange letters, but not marriage vows in a warm and complicated friendship lasting 50 years.  As they sit side by side reading the notes, letters and cards - they share their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats - that have passed between them throughout their separated lives.

Registration is required.
