Celebrate Valentineโs Day with Cheryl Daro & Mark Shunock as they bring this Pulitzer Prize for Drama Finalist to life. The play centers on two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, they sit side by side at tables and read the notes, letters and cards โ in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats โ that have passed between them throughout their separated lives.
