BRCT celebrated their fifth anniversary by resurrecting its first production ever! Love Letters is a sentimental addition to the budding Act-One Workshop series. Love Letters is A.R. Gurney's 1989 unique and critically acclaimed theater piece, comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between the dutiful lawyer, Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, and the lively artist Melissa Gardner who met in second grade, fall in love, go off to different boarding schools and eventually many others yet keep yearning for one another. Their bitter-sweet relationship gradually unfolds as the actors read their letters aloud, creating an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling, pair of character studies in which what is implied is as revealing and meaningful as what is actually written down.
