The Marblehead Arts Association has announced two performances of the comedic play “Love Letters,” which will take place in February at the King Hooper Mansion, 8 Hooper St. Each performance is set for Saturday, Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 11 at 2 p.m.
The play will feature two Marbleheaders and former New York City actors Susan Bott and Fred Anthony Marco, who will play the staid and proper Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, and Melissa Gardner, a free-spirited but troubled artist. The show is made exclusively from letters between the two characters, spanning from their lives starting in second grade through their mid-50s.
Bott has been apart of a number of Broadway/Off-Broadway favorites, including Paula Vogel’s “And Baby Makes Seven,” Julie Kramer’s “The Best of Everything.” She has also done hundreds of voice-overs and commercials throughout her career, including the voice of the Lactaid cow.
Marco has experienced acting in all sorts of venues from an 18th-century opera house in Paris to a basement in a church in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. He has also played the roles of Lt. Billy
McNamara on “As the World Turns” and Sen. Richard Lawson on “The Guiding Light.”
