• Provost Jonathan Green will portray Andrew Makepeace Ladd in A.R. Gurney's Pulitzer Prize-nominated play Love Letters at Heartland Theatre Company, under the direction of adjunct faculty member Ron Emmons. Performances are Thursday-Saturday, April 7-9 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, April 10 at 2 p.m.
  
  In discussing the play, Emmons notes that "letter writing is a dying art. Tapping an email on a keyboard is not the same as making words take shape and flow from a pen. As Andy says in Love Letters, a letter is not 'a phone call, which is dead as soon as it is over.' Instead, 'you can keep me and read me today, tomorrow, any time you want until you die.' Gurney’s script is, like the handwritten letters from which it is composed, totally reliant upon words. In Love Letters you will find no distractions to take away from your own imaginative images conjured up as you hear the words read aloud."
