The Top Notch Players at Northern Essex Community College will have a play take place
virtually called, “Love Letters”, by A.R Gurney on Dec.10 through Dec.12.
The story is about one couples who spent 50 years together and they begin to read love letters to each other in regard to their relationship.
Due to Covid-19, rehearsals were all done online for the safeness of others. The performance will also be presented online. The play will stream on vimeo and anyone can watch it within the comfort of their homes.
The play was directed by Brianne Beatrice who is the theater Coordinator at NECC and
also an adjunct professor.
For five years Beatrice has produced all shows, and pre-pandemic, she typically has designed the set, built the sets and designed the lighting, sound and costumes, but also with
the help of her students.
According to Beatrice, “It’s a really nice time of the year to feel hopeful and we all need hope in our lives and joy in our lives and hopefully this play will bring that to a lot of people.”
According to an announcement from NECC’s Center for Liberal Arts, the play is “available only on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/487879040
