Lewiston Civic Theatre stages weekend readings for Valentine's Day

The Lewiston Civic Theatre will present a staged reading of “Love Letters” at a downtown Lewiston restaurant for Valentine’s Day weekend.

The play, by A.R. Gurney, is a tender, nuanced examination of the shared nostalgia, missed opportunities and deep closeness of two lifelong, complicated friends. While spanning five decades and numerous locations, it is staged simply, with two actors behind desks or in chairs. Saturday’s performance will star Carrie and Matt DeBerard. Sunday’s performance will star Gabi and Paul Segren.

Shows are 2 to 4 p.m. Feb. 13 and 14 at Brock’s in Towne Square. Tickets are available online only for $10 at the theater’s website, www.lctheatre.org.
