“A cultural odyssey where the audience glimpses personal moments for historical figures” —Anchorage Press
Letters Aloud has been delighting audiences with thought-provoking, relevant, hopeful, and humorous stories told through the real voices of real people via their personal correspondence. Read by outstanding actors and performers, these letters give unique and unexpected insights into the personal lives of a variety of people—some famous; some less so—through their own words.
The road to success is paved with rejection and, boy oh boy, have we got the letters to prove it. Among the dozens of gems you’ll experience in this program of letters on the subject of Thanks, But No Thanks—Andy Warhol is asked to pick up his painting at the front desk before it is hauled away…and a young Sidney Poitier tries to borrow $100 from President Franklin Roosevelt (he said no).
Whether hilarious or heartfelt, these letters showcase humanity’s ability to find hope, meaning, and laughter, especially when times are tough. A Letters Aloud evening is the perfect inspiration and antidote for our challenging times.
