Earlier this year, Broken Arrow Community Playhouse presented "Love Letters," A.R. Gurney's popular epistolary play that traces the relationship between two people, from childhood to old age, through the letters they exchanged over the years.
The BACP production brought together actors Karyn Lee Maio and Tom Berenson and director Martha Cherbini, which in 2009 collaborated on an award-winning production of "The Gin Game."
Now, the show will be presented as a special fund-raising offering of the Sapulpa Community Theatre, with performances at 7 p.m. March 23 and 30, at 1 and 7 p.m. March 24 and 30, and 1 p.m. March 25 and April 1 at the Sapulpa Community Theatre, 124 S. Water Ave.
Tickets are $12 and include wine & cheese reception. Proceeds from ticket sales, as well as any additional donations, will to fund the company's operating expenses and are tax deductible.
Tickets are available at the door, or by calling (918) 227-2169.
In an interview with the Tulsa World in 2000, when Gurney was a guest of the Celebration of Books, sponsored by the Oklahoma Center for Poets and Writers at OSU-Tulsa, Gurney spoke about the genesis for what has become his most performed play.
"The whole theme of `Love Letters' came about as a result of my getting a computer," he said. "I prefer writing with liquid ink -- I love the scratch of a fountain pen on good paper, each word indelibly there. But I was learning to use this machine, and I started writing personal letters. And that got me thinking about how much letters -- writing and receiving them -- were a part of my growing up. It made me want to write something that would bring back that world I had left."
