What do the award winning volunteers of Grande Prairie Live Theatre have in common with Hollywood superstars Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal? The connection is Love Letters, A. R. Gurney’s enduring romance about first loves and second chances. GPLT’s production of Love Letters runs from April 13 to 29 for only 8 performances. GPLT is pleased to offer Love Letters as the replacement play for the recently cancelled “That Darn Plot”. That Darn Plot was cancelled due to circumstances beyond GPLT’s control. GPLT thanks the actors and creative team who spent many hours rehearsing “That Darn Plot”. For tickets and information about Love Letters and other events hosted or produced by GPLT go to gplt.ca or call 789 538 1616.
