Love Letters
This Pulitzer Prize-nominated play by A.R. Gurney follows Melissa and Andrew seated at separate tables and reading letters exchanged over a lifetime. Their hopes and dreams, successes and failures are shared over the course of a 50-year relationship in such touching and often humorous honesty, until the very last letter is read, revealing just how much they really meant to each other: though physically apart for most their lives, as emotionally close as only a true lover could be.

Charles Troy Presents: "The Creation of Annie Get Your Gun" 
Because of a sudden death, Irving Berlin was offered this project at the last minute. He hemmed and hawed, doubted himself, then finally took it on -- and, at the age of 57, in less than four months, produced his greatest Broadway score for one of the most popular shows of all time! "Annie Get Your Gun" is Light Opera Works' final production of their season. Before you see it, learn the amazing story behind the show. 
The 45-minute presentation will be preceded by another 45-minute presentation, "Irving Berlin, American" which covers much of Berlin's experiences in Hollywood in the late 1930s and early 40s, including the writing of "God Bless America" and "White Christmas." 
Wednesday, November 20, 2013 at 1:30pm; $13 advance purchase, $15 at-the-door.

Comedy Sportz
Finally, a fun, fast-paced comedy show that's great for the whole family! It's ComedySportz®, improvisational comedy played as a sport by members of the World Comedy League. We’ve been bringing the funny since 1984. Two teams battle for laughs and points as they make up scenes, games and songs on the spot. The audience votes for the winners, a referee calls the fouls and we even play the national anthem before each match.
