‘Love Letters’ for San Diego

A San Diego branch of A. R. Gurney’s “Love Letters” will open Oct. 22 in the Old Globe Theatre. It will follow the pattern established elsewhere: rotating casts that change weekly, using well-recognized stars. First up are Elizabeth Montgomery and Robert Foxworth, Oct. 22-28, to be followed by Beth Howland and Charles Kimbrough (Oct. 30-Nov. 4) and Sada Thompson and Kevin McCarthy (Nov. 6-11). The run may extend into January.

Old Globe subscribers may buy discounted tickets to “Love Letters.” But it is not part of the winter-spring season, which opens Jan. 12 with Larry Ketron’s “Sun Bearing Down” at the Cassius Carter Centre Stage and Lillian Garrett’s “The White Rose” on the main stage Jan. 17. These world premieres run through Feb. 24.

The rest of the Old Globe main-stage season includes August Wilson’s “Two Trains Running” (March 14-April 21) and Gurney’s “The Snow Ball” (May 9-June 16). At the smaller Carter stage, the rest of the season offers Jerry Sterner’s “Other People’s Money” (March 9-April 21) and Ricardo Talesnik’s “La Fiaca” (May 4-June 16).
