Broadway and TV star Robert Emmet Lunney headlines our one-night-only benefit performance of A.R. Gurney's Pulitzer-nominated play "Love Letters," which features a couple who read aloud the letters - inspiring, conflicted, heartwarming and bittersweet - that they have sent each other throughout the half-century of their intertwined lives.
Noni Connor co-stars in the performance, which is directed by Liz Piccoli and features accompaniment by award-winning violinist Xiaoqing Zhang.
Before the performance, join us for a reception and silent auction at Phoenicia Diner, with hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine, and a signature cocktail.
All proceeds from the benefit will support the Playhouse's mainstage season and youth theater programs.
Come out and show your support for our historic theater (still going strong after more than 130 years!) and the Shandaken Theatrical Society, while enjoying delicious eats and frosty beverages from one of the Hudson Valley's most popular restaurants.
If you can't attend the event, please consider a donation to support the Playhouse. We're a tax-exempt charitable nonprofit; $100 of your ticket price (and 100% of all direct donations) are tax-deductible.
The reception at Phoenicia Diner begins at 6:00PM; the performance at Phoenicia Playhouse begins at 8:00PM.
A limited number of tickets for the performance only (and not for the reception) will be available at the door, one hour before showtime.
