Anyone have any suggestions for a dinner theater for Valentine's? I've ordered a copy of "Love Letters" by A.R. Gurney, but other than that I'm drawing a blank. TIA n2d |

"The Pavilion" by Craig Wright is also a lovely, serio-comic, romantic play. 3 characters (2 men, 1 woman; all late 30's) 1 very simple set. ------------- "None of us really grow up. All we ever do is learn how to behave in public." -- Keith Johnstone |

Elegies, a song cycleby William FinnWilliam Finn (composer and lyricist of the Tony Award-winning 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) weaves a triumphant tapestry of songs into an evening that is at once deeply heartbreaking and yet brimming with exuberant wit.

If they're considering LOVE LETTERS, they're not necessarily looking for "soppy lovey dovey stuff"!
 How about I DO, I DO - or its non-musical version, THE FOUR-POSTER? ------------- There's a little bit of diva in all of us. Some just have a larger helping than others. |

G'donya SherriAnne!
It must be a different 'Love Letters'?
 Not the one I sat thru for a couple dozen shows, as it was was just that!
Playing tunes on the old heart strings.
Although there was some excitement afforded by the X fade cues, otherwise it was all unacquainted sniffles, tea 'n sympathy. ------------- [western] Gondawandaland "Hear the light & see the sound! TOI TOI CHOOKAS {may you always play to a full house!} |

'Pride & Prejudice' is the ultimate boy-meets-girl. I have written a 45 minute version & will complete my full length version in the next week or two -- Both almost 100% drawn from the original text. Let me know if you would like me to e-mail either or both to you--joanna.norland@gmail.com. Good luck, Joanna
