June 29 at 7pm ET at Falmouth Academy's Simon Center for the ArtsA.R. Gurney’s Pulitzer-finalist epistolary play poignantly chronicles their complicated bond over nearly 50 years through powerful writing and minimalist staging. Don’t miss the reunion of Good Morning America hosts (and CCTP supporters) Charles Gibson and Joan Lunden at this one night only benefit.
Love Letters reveals a lifetime of love, friendship, and missed opportunities through the letters between Melissa Gardner (Joan Lunden) and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III (Charles Gibson). Despite their deep connection, separate paths prevent them from becoming a couple, leaving an undercurrent of melancholy and regret. As rebellious Melissa and traditional Andrew navigate boarding schools, careers, marriages, and personal struggles, their intimate correspondence reveals hopes, disappointments, and tender moments that define their star-crossed dynamic.
Both Lunden and Gibson greeted America daily for nearly twenty years as trusted hosts of Good Morning America. Lunden is a journalist, host, motivational speaker and author. A health and senior advocate, Joan is the host of the PBS television series, Second Opinion with Joan Lunden and the Washington Post Podcast series, Caring for Tomorrow. Lunden’s newest book, Why Did I Come into This Room: A Candid Conversation About Aging quickly became a New York Times Best Seller.
Charles Gibson, who vacations annually on the Cape, is a renowned broadcast television anchor, journalist, and podcaster. A host of ABC’s Good Morning America and World News Tonight, Gibson and his daughter created a podcast called The Bookcase, appeared in Netflix’s House of Cards and was awarded a National Journalism Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities. He is also the recipient of the Fred Friendly First Amendment Award.
