THEATRE

Not every couple is the same, and not every performance of Newton Country Players' Love Letters is the same!

Two real-life couples who met doing community theatre will take the stage at Trinity Parish Church in Newton Centre, with Diane and Kenny Meehan assuming the roles of longtime lovers Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III on Thursday, October 18, and Friday, October 19, and JulieAnn and Michael Govang playing those same roles on Saturday, October 20 and Sunday, October 21. The Sunday show starts at 2 p.m.; all other shows start at 8 pm. So that audience members can see both casts, NCP is offering tickets to two shows for a discounted rate of $35 for adults and $30 for students and seniors. For one show, tickets are $20 for adults and $18 for students and seniors.

One dollar from all tickets sold will go to the Centre Street Food Pantry. Non-perishable food, juices, and toiletries will also be collected at the door for the pantry.
