The Rock River Players (RRP) presents Love Letters on Friday, February 13 and Saturday, February 14 at 7PM, and Sunday, February 15 at 3PM at the Williamsville Hall, 35 Dover Road, Williamsville.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day weekend the Rock River Players’ production of A.R. Gurney’s Pulitzer-prize winning Love Letters. With two runs on Broadway (1989–1990 and revived in 2014), Love Letters explores a fifty year on-again, off-again relationship between two people who interact entirely through letters.
“The play stirs a range of emotions in me from gentle amusement to heartbreak,” says Charlene Kennedy, who portrays the female lead, Melissa Gardner. “I remain charmed by the relationship, the dreams, the hopes, and the hardships of the deep love between Melissa and Andrew.”
Director Tracy Berchi adds that the play’s exploration of the many forms love can take is what speaks to her most about this project. “It’s (a play) fundamentally about relationships, and how they can morph depending on our life choices. The characters are both born into wealth and privilege, and this play also examines what that privilege can and cannot do for a person on an emotional level.”
Love Letters will be brought to life at Williamsville Hall by director Tracy Berchi and actors Charlene Kennedy and Stewart McDermet.
Williamsville Hall is heated and ADA compliant.
Baked goods and other concessions will be available by donation and tickets are $15 at the door.
