"Love Letters"

There are two great shows to choose from this weekend: Bitsy & Boots we talked about in the last post - and the other show is Love Letters.

It's a Valentine's show for friends, lovers, or anyone in between.

The show runs Feb. 10, 11, 17 and 18 at the Renaissance Ballroom at 900 8th Street in Huntington.

Reservations are required, so call 304-733-ARTS for more info. You can get the dinner and show for $25 (dinner is served at 6:30 p.m.), or just see the show for $15 (it starts at 8 p.m.).

Love Letters is a Pulitzer Prize for Drama nominated play by A. R. Gurney. The play centers on just two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Acted by Amy Knell Carlson and Bil Neal, the characters sit side by side at tables and read notes, letters and cards - in which 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.
