Love Letters through June 16 at GCP’s 2nd Space Theatre
The Pulitzer Prize winning Love Letters by A. R. Gurney is now playing at GCP’s 2nd Space Theatre at 928 E. Olive. Romantic, funny and bittersweet, Love Letters traces a 50-year relationship of 2nd grade classmates separated by boarding school, college, war, marriage and politics, yet linked by a bond far stronger than distance and disagreement. Rated PG-13.
One Flew Over The Cuckoos’ Nest opens June 20th at GCP’s 2nd Space Theatre and tells the story of swaggering, hell-raising rebel Patrick McMurphy who feigns insanity so he can serve his prison sentence in a mental institution rather than a work farm. A power struggle of epic proportions breaks out between McMurphy and Nurse Ratched, growing more and more ferocious as the lines between sanity and insanity become blurred — with shattering results. Rated PG-13. 2nd Space Box Office: 559-266-0660 or 800-371-4747.
