"Write Me at Every Opportunity" A Revolutionary War Story Stage Performance

The letters Connecticut couple Nathan and Lois Peters wrote to each other during the Revolutionary War form the basis of this production.
About this Event

Write Me at Every Opportunity is a stage adaptation based on American Revolutionary War correspondence (1775-1777) between husband and wife Nathan and Lois Peters from Preston, Connecticut. The phrase "Write Me at Every Opportunity" appears frequently in the couple's letters during this time period. Short quotes from these letters were used in the recent Ken Burns American Revolution documentary!

Commissioned by the Preston Historical Society, this production will be performed by Pocket Productions, a new nonprofit theater group based in Torrington. John Long of Preston and formerly of Torrington, adapted the correspondence for the stage.

The letters are in the collection of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History, which has generously granted the Preston Historical Society access to use the letters.

This production of "Write Me at Every Opportunity" is co-sponsored by the Torrington Historical Society and Five Points Arts.
