Join some of your favorite Local Leaders and talented community members at the Bedford Hills Community House on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at 7:30 PM, as they perform a benefit reading of LOVE LETTERS in support of Katonah Classic Stage.

Love Letters is a play by A. R. Gurney that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. A table, two chairs and a pair of actors reading from scripts on an otherwise bare stage sounds like one notch up from a radio play. But A.R. Gurney’s deceptively simple 1988 two-hander is that rare work whose emotional richness requires no embellishment in order to become a full-bodied theatrical experience. As Charles Isherwood said in The NY Times, Love Letters is a “deceptively simple and quietly moving play………Even today, when people broadcast their every waking thought on any number of social media platforms, we only really manage to record a small sliver of what it means, and how it feels, to grow and change, to experience love and endure loss”.

Come laugh and listen with us as these public servants support the arts by showing off their acting chops.
