Friday/Saturday, June 26-27

SkyPieces Theatre Group presents A.R. Gurney’s timeless play, Love Letters. The story of Andy and Melissa, whose childhood notes in class, postcards from vacation, Valentines, and letters from summer camp tell the tale of two lives and one love. 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.
