We see the relationship of childhood friends Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner grow through their lifelong correspondence, starting with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the college years and beyond, with life taking them in different directions. Eventually the two reconnect, but it is too late for them? Through their correspondence, it becomes clear how much they really meant to each other over the years. Performed with permission and licensing of Dramatists Play Service of New York City.
