Dear Jack Dear Louise
by Fredericksburg Theater Company (FTC)

Mar. 02 - Mar. 04

U.S. Army Captain Jack Ludwig, a military doctor stationed in Oregon, begins writing to Louise Rabiner, an aspiring actress and dancer in New York City, hoping to meet her someday if the war will allow. But as the war continues, it threatens to end their relationship before it even starts. Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, Lend Me a Tenor) tells the joyous, heartwarming story of his parents’ courtship during World War II, and the results are anything but expected.

(Rated PG)

In honor of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, FTC is switching up the end of our season to feature a true story about a couple whom WWII impacted.
