Through the time-honored tradition of letter writing, audiences meet Andy and Melissa and follow their love affair from second grade through college, as they grow apart and marry others, and all while maintaining a relationship across the miles. Spanning the years 1937-84, this story will resonate with those who remember the Great Depression, WWII, the Cold War Years and the crazy ’60s and ’70s. Gurney’s performance piece is considered a rite of passage for most acting couples and was nominated in 1990 for a Pulitzer Prize in Drama.

Sept. 25.
