๐ฅ Who We’re Looking For
Love Letters is traditionally performed by one male actor and one female actor, who read the correspondence between the two characters from childhood through their later years. We are looking for two strong performers for each show (5 shows in all, so a potential for 5 females and 5 males), ideally anywhere from their 30s to 70s+, who can suggest the passage of time through subtle changes in voice, rhythm, humour, emotional maturity, and mannerisms. The actors are not expected to “play” every age literally, but rather to let the audience feel the characters growing older as the letters move from youthful innocence to adult complexity and reflection.
๐ About the Play
Love Letters by A.R. Gurney is a beautifully simple and deeply moving story told through a lifetime of correspondence between two people. Spanning decades, their letters reveal a relationship filled with humour, longing, missed chances, and enduring connection. It’s a quiet, powerful piece that reminds us how the written word can hold a lifetime of emotion.

๐ญ What Makes It Unique
Unlike traditional plays, Love Letters is performed as a staged reading—no memorization, no elaborate staging—just two actors, side by side, bringing the story to life through voice, nuance, and connection. This production offers a rare opportunity for actors of all experience levels to focus purely on storytelling and character. Even though there are only 2 roles, we are looking for different couples for each show.
