LOVE LETTERS

Reader’s Theatre for all ages.
Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years, where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school, while Melissa flunks out of a series of “good schools.” While Andy if off at war, Melissa marries, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries, becomes a successful attorney, gets involved in politics and eventually is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, her marriage in tatters, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos, drinks more than she should and becomes estranged from her children. Eventually she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair, but it is too late for both of them. However, Andy’s last letter, written to her mother after Melissa’s untimely death, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant and gave to each other over the years; physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.
Performance dates: Every Friday and Saturday evening with curtain time at 7:30. Each weekend features a different cast.
Tickets are $15.00 and are available online at:

Director Zemeckis takes us ‘Back to the Future’ at 7th Street Theatre Jan. 25-26
A box-office smash from the wild imagination of director Robert Zemeckis, “Back to the Future” will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25-26, at Grays Harbor’s historic 7th Street Theatre, in downtown Hoquiam. The 1985 film was also co-written by Zemeckis, Best Director Oscar winner for “Forrest Gump” and director of “Romancing the Stone,” “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” “Cast Away,” “Polar Express” and a pair of “Future” sequels, among his credits. The movie offers breakthrough big screen roles to an unlikely pair of TV stars, 24year-old Michael J. Fox of “Family Ties” and Christopher Lloyd, already a double Emmy winner for “Taxi” and 23 years Fox’s senior. As Marty McFly and Doc Brown, they take us through a fun and crazy time travel adventure that includes the Flux Capacitor (“still, uh, fluxing”) and helped make the DeLorean car an iconic piece of pop culture. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. The theatre is at 313 7th Street in downtown Hoquiam. Tickets are $6, available at the door or in advance at Harbor Drug and Crown Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen, and online at www.7thstreettheatre.com.
