Auditions to be held Feb. 20 for “Love Letters”

FALLBROOK – Curtain Call Company will be holding auditions for their upcoming production of A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters” on Friday, Feb. 20. Auditions will be held at Christ the King Lutheran Church (fireside room), 1620 S. Stage Coach Lane, Fallbrook between the hours of 6 and 9 p.m.

“Love Letters” recently played on Broadway with Alan Alda and Candice Bergen. It is a funny and emotional portrait about the powerful connection of love.

Two friends, rebellious Melissa Gardner and straight-arrow Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, have exchanged notes, cards and letters with each other for over 50 years. From second grade, through summer vacations, to college, and well into adulthood, they have spent a lifetime discussing their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, and victories and defeats. But long after the letters are done, the real question remains: Have they made the right choices or is the love of their life only a letter away?

Three casts of one male and one female each will be used for this production with each of the casts performing two of the six total performances. Actors, age 40 and above, will be asked to “cold read” from the script at auditions.

The show will be performed the last two weekends of April at the Fallbrook Woman’s Club. This is a “reader’s theater” where the actors read from the script during performances, therefore, no memorization is necessary.

The show will be directed and produced by Mary Fry. For more information call Curtain Call Company at (760) 468-6302 or email [email protected].
