Crackling with humour, emotion, and poignancy, Dear Jack, Dear Louise is an inspiring reminder of the best we can be, even in the worst of times.

Long-distance relationships can be challenging, particularly when communicating with someone you've never met before solely through letters.

When two strangers meet by letter during World War II, a wartime romance begins to develop. U.S. Army Captain Jack Ludwig, a military doctor stationed in Oregon, begins writing to Louise Rabiner, an aspiring actress and dancer in New York City, hoping to meet her someday … if the war will allow. But as the conflict rages on, their relationship is threatened before it even starts.

Tony Award®-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, Lend Me a Tenor) tells the joyous, heartwarming story of his parents’ courtship – and the results are anything but expected.

Experience their journey as they navigate this unique situation, all while a war unfolds around them.

Will their love prevail? Or will their newfound relationship come crashing down before it even really starts?

Recommended for ages 10 and up.

Running Time: 1 hour and 40 minutes, including a 20 minute intermission
