A.R. Gurneys Love Letters
A.R. Gurneys Love Letters
September 14, 2019, 7:30pm
A unique and imaginative theatre piece which, in the words of the author, "needs no theatre, no lengthy rehearsal, no special set, no memorization of lines, and no commitment from its two actors beyond the night of performance." The piece is comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences. As the actors read the letters aloud, what is created is an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling pair of character studies in which what is implied is as revealing and meaningful as what is actually written down.

This holiday season, Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox will that the same originality, wit, and virtuosic musical performances that have garnered them over 1 billion views on YouTube to revitalize the idea of a Christmas tour itself, in their multi-city 'A Very Postmodern Christmas' tour.
The tour will feature PMJ's rotating retro collective of show-stopping vocalist, dancers, and instrumentalist as they mashup timeless holiday classics and today's pop hits in the 'vintage' styles of 20s hot jazz, doo wop, and Motown that have brought the group international acclaim. Put simply: it's the holiday show equivalent of Bing Crosby singing 'Little Drummer Boy' with David Bowie.
