Dear Jack, Dear Louise at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...“Dear Jack, Dear Louise” is a sweet romantic comedy set against the backdrop of America’s entry into the Second World War. Brilliantly directed by Mandy Modic, the play features a nicely drawn chemistry between David Moreland as Jack Ludwig and Isabelle Muthiah as Louise Rabiner, whose snail mail letters over two years’ time draw them closer together. Jack is a medical doctor, who is also a U.S. army captain and originally from Coatesville, Pennsylvania, while Louise is a dancer and an aspiring Broadway actress from Brooklyn. Since Louise’s father and Jacob’s father previously knew each other, they suggested that their twenty-something-year-old children become pen pals—now that Jack has been stationed in Oregon and Louise has made the move to New York City."
