A military doctor and an actress, separated by war yet united by letters.
In this heartfelt new play by Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Crazy for You), two strangers—a military doctor stationed in Oregon and an aspiring actress in New York City—begin a correspondence during World War II. As they exchange letters, a deep bond forms, fueled by hopes and dreams of being together someday. But with the war standing between them, they’re left wondering if letters alone can sustain a love story. Inspired by the true courtship of Ludwig’s parents, this production brings a personal tale of love, patience, and resilience to the stage.
