LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME: PFAC presents Letter’s Aloud Feb. 11
by Pinedale Fine Arts Council
February 1, 2016
The Pinedale Fine Arts Council is proud to present Letter’s Aloud on Thursday, February 11 at 7 p.m. in the Pinedale Auditorium. The Seattle-based Letters Aloud will be presenting a very special Valentine’s production of "LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME—Letters of Loving, Longing and Leaving."
Letters Aloud is a live reading series where great actors give voice to deeply personal letters written by famous people throughout history. Accompanied by live music and thoughtful imagery, it’s an entertaining and poignant reminder of how correspondence has changed over the years and how truly valuable a handwritten (or typewritten) letter can be.
At the Pinedale performance, Letters Aloud will be presenting "LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME—Letters of Loving, Longing and Leaving." What happens when a letter crafted uniquely for one reader is put on stage for all to see? Intimate thoughts laid bare, intended for one, are held up for us like a mirror, making us reflect on our own hearts, lives, and times. Letters Aloud embraces the theme of romantic love in the upcoming "Love Me Or Leave Me – letters of loving, longing and leaving". By turns steamy and sweet, this selection of personal letters from such luminaries as Ansel Adams, Henry Miller, Frida Kahlo, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Taylor, Henry VIII and Guns ‘n Roses guitarist Slash will inspire your passions—and maybe that Valentine’s Day card that you have yet to write.
"We had the opportunity to catch a Letters Aloud performance in Eugene, Oregon last year and were completely blown away," PFAC Marketing/Outreach Director Tim Ruland said. "We’re really excited to bring this unique and unforgettable experience to Pinedale."
Letters Aloud live in Pinedale is presented by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council with support in part from the Wyoming Arts Council through funding from the Wyoming Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts which believes a great nation deserves great art, the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF), Sublette BOCES, SCSD #1, Western Sublette BOCES #9, the Sublette County Recreation Board, the Sublette Community Foundation, Jonah Energy, Linn Energy, QEP Resources, Tegelers & Associates, Wyoming Community Foundation, Ultra, 1st Bank and Denbury.
