Love Letters is the story of straitlaced Andy and uninhibited Melissa, whose lifelong friendship begins in elementary school and lasts through ups and downs for the rest of their lives.

This touching, funny play is a perfect mid-week refreshment for friends and couples alike. Bring a group of people you love for a feel-good night at the theatre!
