The Valley Players present A. R. Gurney's classic, award-winning play of romance-by-post, Love Letters, for four nights only: on February 7 & 8 and 14 & 15, at 7:30pm, doors open at 6:30 for drinks and light bites by E Silver Charcuterie

Tickets are on a pay-what-you-can scale starting at $15. Half of net ticket proceeds from Love Letters will be donated to River Valley Counseling Center, a nonprofit community-based mental health agency that has been serving the Valley for over 70 years
