SUMMARY:A Goodnight Kiss
DESCRIPTION:In 1863\, a time when handwritten letters carried news of hope or despair\, a correspondence began between two young New England residents whose relationship blossomed in the shadow of the Civil War. Missed opportunities\, unreliable mail\, and the ever-present threat of tragedy raised profound obstacles that would make or break their bond. This dramatization of the deeply moving real-life correspondence between two individuals proves the triumph of human connection despite all adversity. \nBased on actual love letters\, this historical drama was produced and directed by veteran TV/film actress Kathy Kelly and written by award-winning\, internationally acclaimed playwright Cinzi Lavin. \nRSVP to reserve your free ticket! \nLWVCT is proud to be a CT affiliate organization for America 250. This event is a part of the year-long celebration.
