A bittersweet and intimate play by A.R. Gurney, LOVE LETTERS is a Pulitzer Prize finalist for Drama about two lifelong friends and the letters they exchanged.

Now, sitting side by side reading decades of saved writings, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – everything that has passed between them throughout their separated lives.
The show will be presented February 5, 6, & 7 at 7:30pm at Stage West Studio (300 Sheyenne St #120, West Fargo) in a reader’s theatre format (limited staging, scripts in hand). All tickets will be “Pay What You Will” with a suggestion donation of $10.00.
