Two strangers—a military doctor in Oregon and an aspiring actress in New York City—meet by letter during World War II. They dream of being together someday, but the war keeps them apart for years. Will letters be enough to spark a love story? 

Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Crazy for You) tells the true story of his parents' courtship during World War II in this new play signed, sealed and delivered straight from the heart.

Produced by Penguin Rep Theatre & Shadowland Stages.
