‘DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE’ OPENS THURSDAY AT UNITY THEATRE

  

Unity Theatre in Brenham opens performances tonight (Thursday) with a dramatic comedy that explores the resilience of the human heart.

“Dear Jack, Dear Louise”, from Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig, will play for three weekends through February 15^th on Unity’s Main Stage.

The play tells the true story of the courtship of Ludwig’s parents through letters exchanged during World War II.

When U.S. Army Captain Jack Ludwig, a military doctor stationed in Oregon, begins writing to Louise Rabiner, an aspiring actress and dancer in New York City, the two strangers quickly discover a connection that spans thousands of miles.  As the war intensifies, their budding relationship faces challenges neither could have foreseen.  Through humor, poignancy, and heartfelt honesty, “Dear Jack, Dear Louise” celebrates the courage to hope and to love, even when the world feels uncertain.

Performances are 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. on Sundays.  Tonight’s preview show will be followed by a talk back with the cast, while the performance on Saturday, February 14^th will feature a director’s chat beforehand with director Andrew Ruthven.

Regular ticket prices are $30 for adults and $15 for students.  Preview show tickets are priced at $24.  Any seats that are unsold 15 minutes before curtain are $15.
