What if the letters we wrote were the ones we were never "supposed" to send?

A.R. Gurney’s Pulitzer-nominated Love Letters has been a stage staple for decades, but you’ve never seen it like this. In a PrideArts exclusive, we are stripping away the traditional casting to explore this lifetime of longing through an exclusively LGBTQ+ lens. Over the course of fifty years, two people share their lives, their dreams, and their deepest secrets through the simple act of writing. By casting LGBTQ+ couples in these iconic roles, we’re uncovering new depths of resonance, resilience, and the unique courage it takes to love out loud (or on paper).

It’s a rare, intimate look at connection that you won’t find on any other stage. Join us at the Center on Halsted for a poignant evening of theater that proves that while the world changes, the language of the heart is universal.
