All Day
LOVE LETTERS is a disarmingly funny and unforgettably 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?

Features: Aniria, a single mom doing stand- up, brings her cultural triangle of being Puerto Rican/Salvadorian, raised in the South, witty observations to the stage. Laugh out loud at the "in your face" truths about cultural differences & juggling dating while raising kids. Teah, bringing us comedy on the raunchy side, is a very clever & a really nice person, which always helps when one is being is extremely naughty; Emcee Long Island Mary may look innocent enough, but watch out, for this gal has an incredibly twisted view of life.
