LOVE LETTERS is a disarmingly funny and unforgettably emotional portrait about the powerful connection of love. Childhood friends Andrew and Melissa share fifty years of friendship through countless letters—from grade school valentines to romantic missives, they express their hopes and fears, loves and losses. But long after the letters are done, the real question remains: Have they made the right choices or is the love of their life only a letter away?
“We loved having David here when he directed It Shoulda Been You (which premiered at the Playhouse prior to its current Broadway run), and I am thrilled and grateful he is returning for this very special performance. I have long wanted to have Debra at George Street, and I am thrilled she will be joining us,” said Mr. Saint.
