Valentine’s Day may have passed, but love is still in the air. Those longing for a romantic getaway are invited to the play “Love Letters,” which will be performed at 2 p.m., Friday, March 11, at Tri-County Unitarian Universalists church. Tri-UU is located at SE 135th St. in Summerfield.
“Love Letters,” written by A.R. Gurney, has been a hit on and off Broadway for decades. The staging is simple: Two characters – Andrew Makepeace Ladd 3 and Melissa Garner – sit behind desks and read letters written to one another over the course of 50 years.
“‘Love Letters’ is a tender story about missed opportunities and the deep closeness of two lifelong friends,” says Erin Woodsome, Tri-UU Fun & Friendship Team Coordinator.
Only 60 tickets at $10 apiece will be available for in-person attendance; attendees will be required to wear face masks. The live presentation will be videotaped and made available afterward via Zoom for anyone unable to attend in person.
The one-name actors are Bernard and Rumi, who recently performed the play to rave reviews in The Villages.
