‘Love Letters’ through Time

Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross, who played husband and wife on the hit ‘80s TV sitcom Family Ties, were back together at the Ensemble Theatre Company’s New Vic for a special one-time benefit performance of Love Letters.

A timeless play written by A. R.Gurney, the production unfolds through a series of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences.

“Our first performance of Love Letters was in the mid-1980s and here we are in 2024,” says Baxter. “We have traveled half a lifetime all around the country, getting to share this beautiful story. What good fortune.”

The twosome’s chemistry was undeniable. A fun afternoon for a good cause…
