ANNOUNCEMENTS

Love Letters Arrive at WWCA

A. R. Gurney’s “Love Letters” opens 10/15 at Western Washington Center for the Arts and runs through Oct 31st.  It is a tender, tragi-comic, and nuanced examination of the lost art of letter writing, shared nostalgia, missed opportunities, and the deep closeness of two lifelong, complicated friends.  Spanning five decades and numerous locations, Love Letters is staged simply, with two actors behind desks or sitting in cozy chairs, letting their words describe a world of emotion.  Get tickets today at wwca.us.
