Real-life husband and wife team Jeremy van Meter and Catherine Glynn play two people not looking for love—but it found them at the worst possible time, during World War II. Travel through their passionate, funny, and sometimes desperate letters as they navigate bombs, wrecked trains, miscues, and the complexities of the human heart.

Free to the Public. Reservations Appreciated.

 

When college friends Bob Schenkkan and Jean McKenzie reunited in New York City in 1941, lightning struck. However, with Bob shipping off to the Pacific War as a Bomb Disposal Officer and Jean touring the nation as a USO actor, keeping this new flame alive while thousands of miles apart proved to be a challenge.

Based on the true story of playwright Robert Schenkkan’s parents’ courtship, this perfectly crafted romantic play portrays a stirring romance ideal for celebrating Valentines Day.

This staged reading is free and open to the public Saturday, February 15, at 7:30 pm and Sunday, February 16, at 1:30 pm.

Reservations are appreciated and donations accepted. Contact the box office at (800) 657-7025 or commonwealtheatre.org.
