Ken Ludwig’s “Dear Jack, Dear Louise” will be presented by Seaside Theatre Company at the Scott MacAulay Performing Arts Centre in Summerside on November 1, 2, and 3. In time for Remembrance Day, “Dear Jack, Dear Louise” is a comedy/drama about an unlikely romance. It’s a heartwarming and joyous story that nevertheless is grounded by the dangers of the Second World War.
Loosely based on his parents’ wartime letters, playwright Ken Ludwig creates a funny but deeply touching story. Jack, an army doctor, and Louise, an aspiring actor, are two young people who find humour and love through letters. Although set during World War II, Ludwig has crafted a story that resonates powerfully today.
Ashley Vautour returns to the stage as Louise after playing in STC’s “The Mousetrap”, and new-to-the-company Zach Martin takes on the role of Jack. The show is directed by Stuart Smith, with co-director Al Harrington, and stage manager Vanessa MacArthur.
Ken Ludwig has had many Broadway successes over his long career. The Olivier and Tony Award-winning playwright’s list of comedy credits includes “Lend Me a Tenor,” “Crazy for You,” “Moon Over Buffalo,”and “Baskerville.”
