The Northern Essex Community College Top Notch Players will stream a production of “Love Letters” by A.R. Gurney, Dec. 10 through 12.

In this tragic-comedy, childhood friends Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner read communication they have exchanged over a 50-year period, beginning with birthday thank you notes as children and continuing with a lifetime of letters that detail marriages and careers, and dreams and disappointments.

The performance is directed by NECC theater and communication professor, Bri Beatrice, who encourages viewers to “watch from the comfort of your own home with a cup of cocoa.”

Available virtually anytime from Thursday, Dec. 10 at midnight until Saturday, Dec. 12 at midnight, the play features Samantha Wheatley of Lowell as Melissa and Stephen Caliskan of Acton as Andrew. The play can be accessed at https://vimeo.com/487879040
