The two-show production of the play “Love Letters” had to be canceled by Stowe Theatre Guild earlier this summer but will now grace the stage at the Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 29-30, 7:30 p.m. on both nights.
The A.R. Gurney play was a finalist for the 1990 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and follows the lives of childhood friends Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, from summer camp and boarding school to romantic attachments and family estrangements.
John Weltman and Linda Monchik, who recently performed the play at the Cotuit Center for the Arts on Cape Cod, will star. Both are familiar faces at various New England community theaters.
Stowe Theatre Guild had to cancel its August run of the show due to airflow issues in Town Hall Theater.
“I reached out to the chairman of the board of the Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center and they offered their facility for literally their out-of-pocket costs with all proceeds above that going to the Stowe Theatre Guild,” said Weltman.
