Love Letters

Friday, July 21 through July 30

Class Act Theatre

A tale of distant love and the power of the written word comes to the Class Act Theatre in Florence.

Love Letters, a play by A.R. Gurney, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The production is in honor of Gurney, who died June 13. David Lauria plays Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Rosemary Lauria plays Melissa Gardner, childhood friends who begin a lifelong correspondence with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. As their life journeys take them on divergent paths, they remain close through written letters, which come to encompass the love that they share.

Paula Lindekugel-Willis directed the show.

It runs Friday through July 30, with 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday shows and 2 p.m. Sunday matinees. Tickets are $18 (catproductions.org or 541-991-3773).

The Class Act Theatre is at 509 Kingwood St. in Florence.
