The Monthly Grind
FCP Production of Love Letters
How lovely for Valentine's Day!
Join First City Players at the New York Cafe for dinner theatre featuring Love Letters by A.R. Gurney.
A childhood friendship plays out in decades of poignant correspondence, her adult life and his diverging through the course of marriages, careers, and calamities -- and briefly intersecting in middle age.
Two actors embody the tender history of a pair divided in fact, but inseparable in spirit.
