'Love Letters' at Arts Center of Newcomerstown
NEWCOMERSTOWN − Black Box Ensemble Theatre will present "Love Letters" at 6:30 p.m. May 12 and 13 at Arts Center of Newcomerstown, ARTSNCT, 304 S. College St., Newcomerstown.
Director is Don Irven, founder of Black Box, with Elizabeth Thomakos and Bart Herman starring. Herman has portrayed the role of David Ziesberger in the outdoor historical drama "Trumpet in the Land" for more than 12 years and Thomakos was most recently seen in a production of "Love Letters" at the Union Country Club in New Philadelphia.
"It is a real thrill to be directing these incredibly talented actors with one of my all-time favorite scripts," said Irven. "The show is a very simple format for telling a really great story as the actors read love letters from one another. There's romance, passion, heartbreak, and suspense − all of the things you experience in a real-life love story."
"Love Letters" written by A. R. Gurney, a Pulitzer-Prize finalist and has had multiple Broadway productions featuring well-known actors such as Carol Burnett, Mia Farrow, Martin Sheen and Alan Alda. The play is a story about the connection of love between two friends who exchange notes, cards and letters with each other for more than 50 years. The play follows their often funny and always touching lifelong love affair through the power of the pen.
