| Description: |
Wytheville Community College Theatre presents the play "Love Letters" with four performances starting on Friday, February 4, 2022 through Saturday, February 12, 2022 in Snyder Auditorium located within Grayson Hall on the campus of Wytheville Community College. Performance Schedule: • Friday, February 4th at 7:00 PM • Saturday, February 5th at 7:00 PM • Friday, February 11th at 7:00 PM • Saturday, February 12th at 7:00 PM Playwright A. R. Gurney explores the evolution of love between two people in his drama "Love Letters". The play begins in 1937, with simple letters of two early childhood friends Andrew “Andy” Makepeace Ladd III (played by Robert Burnett) and Melissa Gardner (played by Denita Burnett). The correspondence between them continues through boarding school, college years, and adulthood, ultimately spanning nearly 50 years. Andy and Melissa journey through moments of awkwardness, humor, frustration, happiness, disappointment, pleasure and sadness. A special aspect of this show is that all proceeds will benefit the newly established “Bobby Jean Wymer Memorial Scholarship.” Wymer was a dedicated English faculty member at WCC from 1968 until her retirement in 2002. As such, there is no set ticket price; donations of any amount will be gladly accepted. Reservations are strongly recommended in order to ensure appropriate social distancing between groups of people. Please call 276-223-4795 or email wcctheatre@wcc.vccs.edu for reservations. In addition, all attendees must wear masks regardless of vaccination status. Note: This show is not appropriate for young children due to adult language and content.
