Love Letters at Mason City Community Theatre

A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters is a tender, tragi-comic, and nuanced examination of the shared nostalgia, missed opportunities, and deep closeness of two lifelong, complicated friends. Presented by Mason City Community Theatre and directed by Steve Musson, the story follows Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner—childhood friends from affluent, East Coast families whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Through angst-ridden boarding school experiences, European adventures, failed marriages, and career highs and lows, their relationship evolves in unexpected ways. Despite the painful differences that ultimately tear them apart, they remain each other’s most trusted confidante, and are “true lovers” on paper, if not on the earth. Tickets are $16 for adults and $12 for students. Show Dates & Times: June 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th - 7:00 p.m. June 8th & 15th at 2:00 p.m.
