Lemon Bay Playhouse will be offering a presentation of Love Letters, by A. R. Gurney, at the State College of Florida Venice. Playhouse volunteers Jack Rabito and Maureen Moran will perform at the Venice Campus of the College on Valentine’s Day, February 14th at 12:30pm.
The play chronicles a 50-year relationship of childhood friends. The friendship develops into a star-crossed romance and is told through a series of letters, postcards and correspondence that reflects the characters’ hopes, dreams, ambitions, victories, disappointments and defeats.
Jack Rabito will portray the conservative and dutiful character Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Maureen Moran will play the troubled, wealthy and free-spirited Melissa Gardner. Rabito and Moran performed in “On Golden Pond” at the Lemon Bay Playhouse last spring.
There will be a Q & A period after the performance for students and audience members to ask actors questions about the play and performance.
This event is free and open to the public and will begin at 12:30 pm in the Selby Room, building 800 at SCF Venice, 8000 S. Tamiami Trail. For more information, contact Nicolette Mason, language and literature instructor, at masonn@scf.edu or 941-408-1477.
