The Sharon Playhouse, the historic arts and entertainment venue nestled in the picturesque Northwest
Corner of Connecticut, is thrilled to announce a special one-night-only staged reading of A.R. Gurney’s
legendary play Love Letters, benefiting the Playhouse. This unique event will feature acclaimed actors
Gretchen Mol (Boardwalk Empire, The Notorious Bettie Page; Disgraced and as Roxie Hart in Chicago on
Broadway) and Campbell Scott (House of Cards, The Amazing Spider-Man 1&2; Noises Off, A Christmas
Carol on Broadway), directed by Sharon Playhouse Artistic Director, Carl Andress, offering an intimate
experience of this timeless exploration of love and connection.
The performance will take place on Saturday, February 15 at 7:00 PM in the Bok Gallery at the Sharon
Playhouse. Tickets are now on sale: https://www.sharonplayhouse.org/love-letters
Love Letters tells the story of the poignant correspondence between Melissa Gardner and Andrew
Makepeace Ladd III, two people whose lives are intertwined through letters exchanged over the course of fifty years. The play beautifully captures their dreams, disappointments, and the enduring bond that shapes their connection.
“We are honored to bring together this extraordinary cast for such a special evening in support of the
Sharon Playhouse,” says Artistic Director Carl Andress. “Love Letters is a stunning and emotional
exploration of human connection, and Gretchen and Campbell will bring these iconic characters to life in a truly memorable way. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Weekend, and we hope our community will join us in supporting the arts in Northwest Connecticut.”
Proceeds from the event will support the Sharon Playhouse’s continued efforts to provide high-quality
performances and arts education to the community. The Playhouse will announce its exciting 2025
Mainstage Season titles in early February!
