Show Synopsis

Three couples, three weekends of Love Letters at Theatre North in Ironwood, Michigan.  Leading up to Valentine’s day, on each Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon beginning January 31, three different couples will portray Andy and Melissa in a heartfelt play.  One half hour prior to each performance an acoustic trio of Violin, Guitar and Keyboard will play a casual concert of love songs as a part of your theatre ticket.  In addition everyone purchasing a ticket to Love Letters will select an envelope when they enter the auditorium.  One lucky audience member will receive the gift of dinner for two at the Iron Nugget in Hurley who is a sponsor for the show.
Love Letters is a play 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. They 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. Witty, funny, sometimes sad, relatable and heartfelt.
