BEAUMONT, CA - Beaumont High School drama students will present the play "Love Letters" by A.R. Gurney at Sundance Elementary School on Friday, April 10 and Saturday April 11 at 7 p.m. A Saturday matinee is scheduled for 2 p.m. Tickets are $5 general admission and $3 for students.

Appearing in the play will be three sets of couple played by Monika Tantare and Jacob Heighes,
Arianah Valdez and Scott Foster, and Diana Velasquez and Nidal Abu-Zirah.

"Love Letters," which was nominated for a Pulitzer in drama, centers on just two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, who sit side by side at tables and read the notes, letters and cards they have sent to each other over nearly 50 years. In the letters, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats.

Directing the performance is Drama Teacher Jan Holden.
