Parrish Playworks presents a staged reading of Ken Ludwig's award winning play about his parents' courtship during World War II. Dear Jack, Dear Louise is the story of U.S. Army Captain Jack Ludwig, a military doctor stationed in Oregon, who begins writing to Louise Rabiner, an aspiring actress and dancer in New York City, hoping to meet her someday if the war will allow. As the war rages on, it threatens to end their relationship before it even starts. Told through the couples' letters to each other, the show tells the joyous, heartwarming story of love, danger and hope during World War II, and the results are anything but expected.
