Director’s Notes “What is the title of the show? Letters? As in the alphabet? What is that going to be about? “ Oh, the inquiries I have had in the last few months!

Welcome to Letters: OnStage 2013…yes, it is true! This show is NOT based on the alphabet – but rather a look at those time periods in our lives where communication played an integral role. The method of communication has definitely changed throughout the years. From paper and pen to email and now this thing called Twitter… who knows what is next! However, there is at least one commonality among all of the methods: sharing how we feel. Opening up our heart and sharing through whatever method is key to continued “connectedness” with those in our lives.

I am thrilled you have joined us for our show! Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

P.S….Have you written that Holiday letter yet?
