Don't miss Love Letters - The C-ville Weekly's 'Pick of the Week'
If you missed this Pulitzer Prize-nominated play at the Paramount in December, you can catch it now at the Hamner. LOVE LETTERS, one of the most poignant romances of the twentieth century, is a bittersweet love story told through the nearly 50-year correspondence of its characters.
We have four casts, eight of the best actors available in central Virginia, each performing three times in two weeks. All performances held Tuesday-Saturday at 7:30 pm, with matinees Saturday & Sunday at 2:00 pm.
Tickets are $10. If you want to see more than one cast, you can buy a $20 pass that will allow you to see all four casts, or pay $5 to see any additional show. Please phone 434 361 1999 for reservations.
