Love Letters
Written By: - NONE - | Issue: 2015/05 - May
“Love Letters” by A. R. Gurney was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. 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 at tables and read the notes, letters and cards – in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – that have passed between them throughout their separated lives.
Highlands’ own Vangie and Curtis Rich will be playing the roles of Melissa and Andrew. Vangie has been performing on stage for over 70 years and has been in numerous musicals, operettas and plays. She is active in the Highlands United Methodist Church Choir and Children’s Drama productions. Curtis is involved in the Rotary Club of Highlands and is on the Highlands Playhouse Board of Directors. Curtis and Vangie have performed many times together, including “On Golden Pond” and “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” Together, they are sure to add their own flair to the roles of Melissa and Andrew.
