Two strangers meet by letter and fall in love in award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig’s Dear Jack, Dear Louise. Set during World War II—and inspired by Ludwig’s parents’ real-life courtship—Army captain Jack Ludwig and aspiring showgirl Louise Rabiner prove that time, distance, and war are no match for determined hearts. Jeffrey Meanza directs, and Suzannah Herschkowitz, and Jordan Sobel star in the Virginia Theatre Festival production.
Friday 7/21–Sunday 7/30. $15–35, times vary. Helms Theatre, 109 Culbreth Rd. virginiatheatrefestival.org

It costs $26,245 a week—$2.23 weekly per copy, or roughly $9.50 monthly per copy—to produce C-VILLE Weekly, including writers, designers, printing, and overhead. We suggest a recurring gift of $10 per month to help cover production costs, but any amount adds up to revenue we can count on. Click to give.
