Cooke Memorial Building Georgetown College Campus located on Jackson Street.
As part of the city of Georgetown's ARTS WEEKEND Oct. 7, 8 and 9, Georgetown Community Theatre will be performing an encore of A.R. Gurney's Love Letters. GCT invites you to join us for this "pay what you can event" on October 8th at 7:00pm.
Bruce and Cary Williams are reprising their roles as Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner. Under the direction of Rachel Nipper, GCT produced two runs of the acclaimed, Pulitzer prize nominated, Love Letters this past February. A different set of actors were featured in each of the six performances. Bruce and Cary portrayed the couple in our matinee finale. This adult Reader's Theatre was chosen by the director for its eloquence, style, and depth of emotion. All of the previous casts of Love Letters received rave reviews from the audiences. Many of whom commented on the depth of the script which stays with you well after the curtain closes.
Love letters, first produced in 1989, is a popular performance piece among many actors. For an actor, it is rewarding because he is able to truly express himself artistically by reading the letters written, it is the actor's voice that creates the story and takes the listener to a place where imagery is individualized and each member of the audience has a different view of the characters and story. The actors do not rely on a set or props to tell a tale and make it move for the audience. Its the actors themselves that move the audience through this crescendo and decrescendo of emotion.
This production does contain mature language and situations.
There is no set ticket price, we just ask for a donation of your choice when you come see this one night only show. Also, GCT will be drawing a winner for two tickets to our Fall show, The Psychic.
