Commonweal Theatre Presents: Bob and Jean: A Love Story

Description

For two people not looking for love, it found them at the worst possible time. When college friends Bob Schenkkan and Jean McKenzie reunited in New York City in 1941, lightning struck. However, with Bob shipping off to the Pacific War as a Bomb Disposal Officer and Jean touring the nation as a USO actor, keeping this new flame alive while thousands of miles apart was a challenge. Travel through their passionate, funny, sometimes desperate letters as they navigate bombs, wrecked trains, miscues, and the complexities of the human heart.
Based on the true story of his parents' courtship, Robert Schenkkan has crafted a stirring romance perfect to celebrate Valentines Day. Join real-life husband and wife team Jeremy van Meter and Catherine Glynn for two performances only – Saturday, February 15 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, February 16 at 1:30 pm. This staged reading is free and open to the public. Reservations are appreciated and donations accepted. Contact the box office at (800) 657-7025 or commonwealtheatre.org.
