FFL_Love Letters logoLOVE LETTERS
Presented by Fairfield Footlighters
Feb. 20-March 1
Fairfield

Directed by James C. Davis

Andrew Makepeace Ladd III writes his first letter to Melissa Gardner to tell her she looks like a lost princess. They are both seven years old. For the next fifty years, through personal triumphs and despair, through wars and marriages and children and careers, they pour out the secrets of their hearts to each other. They defy a fate that schemes to keep them apart, and lives – through letters – for the one most meaningful thing, their undying love for each other.

A unique and imaginative theatre piece comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together and went their separate ways, but continue to share confidences. A wry and poignant tale told entirely through the first scrawled valentines of childhood to the last goodbyes. Over the course of a 50-year correspondance, Andres and Melissa reveal themselves, their hopes and ambitions, their dreams and disappointments, in a “love affair” that takes them from grade school to middle age.

This classic comedy follows a Manhattan socialite in the wake of finding out her husband is cheating—and her friends are no help at all. Clever, cut-throat, and delicious, it’s a satirical look into the lives of the “ladies lunch” and the world that determines their behavior.

STANTON’S GARAGE Runs Feb. 20-March 7

CSPOH_Stantons Garage promoSTANTON’S GARAGE
Presented by CenterStage Players of Ohio
Feb. 20-March 7
North College Hill

Directed by Dee Dunn

Cast: David Hughes as Ron, Austin Moore as Harlon, Burt McCollom as Silvio, Charles Flatt as Denny, Trisha Cooper as Lee, Karra Rae Robinson as Frannie, Nancy Hughes as Mary & Linda Callahan as Audrey

If your car has ever broken down in the middle of nowhere, you’ll love this comedy. In a ramshackle garage miles from anywhere, two cars, both of which were en route to a wedding, await repairs. One is Ron’s, the ex-husband of the bride-to-be, a man who missed his divorce and certainly doesn’t want to miss his wife’s wedding. A bridesmaid who is engaged to the best man owns the other, a Volvo. She has her intended’s teenage daughter with her. They miss the wedding because the shop’s mechanic has never seen a Volvo, much less worked on one. Ron finally does get off to the wedding, lugging a case of anti-freeze as a wedding gift. He staggers back later to warn the Volvo driver that her husband-to-be is a world class jerk. Meanwhile, the teenager falls in love with the amorous store gofer.

Anderson Township

Directed by Vernon Burns
Produced by Cheryl Boettger

Cast: Maggie Kissinger as Joanna Markham, Chuck Haungs as Phillip Markham, Kristina Meek as Linda Lodge, Jim Black as Henry Lodge, Justin Spencer as Alistair, Daniela Nenova as Sylvie, Brieanne Sheehan as Miss Wilkinson, Darcy Little as Miss Wilkinson, Samantha Toberman as Olive Harriet Smyth & Steve Phelan as Walter Pangbourne

Several naughty couples want to “borrow” the Markham’s London flat for an assignation. Due to unfortunate confusion they all show up on the same night. The result is a classic door-slamming comedy with frustrated lovers, children’s authors, interior decorators, and the Swedish au pair in a variety of hysterically funny, slightly indelicate situations.
