Dear Jack, Dear Louise, based on a true story from playwright Ken Ludwig (Ken has had six productions on Broadway and
eight in London’s West End) tells 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). But as the war continues it threatens to end their relationship before it even starts. This performance tells the joyous heartwarming story of Ken Ludwig’s parents' courtship during World War II and the results are anything but expected. The reviews are in: Broadway World review states, “Dear Jack, Dear Louise is a moving, funny and heartbreaking reminder of what we should strive to become individually and as a country"; Washington Post’s review states “"Strikes the touchstones of the online dating age with uncanny precision”.
