Sometimes it takes a lifetime to spell out love. In Love Letters, we meet Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, two childhood friends who share a lifetime of correspondence, beginning with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards and ending in one last heartfelt goodbye. Join Juliet Mills and Maxwell Caulfield for this funny and poignant portrait of love and friendship. Called an "exquisite jewel of a play" by Time magazine, Love Letters is a profound theatrical exploration of the powerful, and sometimes painful, connection of love.

A.R. Gurney (1930-2017) is the playwright. The author of 61 plays was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame in 2004. His shows for Broadway include Love Letters, Sylvia, Sweet Sue and The Golden Age. Love Letters debuted on Broadway in 1989.

Last year, she appeared in Embryo, a sequel to her 1974 hit movie Beyond the Door.

Maxwell Caulfield stars as Andy. He appeared on Broadway in An Inspector Calls and Chicago, and married Juliet Mills after appearing with her in a production of The Elephant Man.
