Synopsis
Jim Stark is the new kid in town. Jimmy can’t help but get into trouble, a problem that has forced his appearance-conscious parents to move from one town to another. Here he hopes to find the love he doesn't get from his middle-class family. After unsuccessfully trying to sort things out with his weak-willed father, Jimmy runs off into the night. He links up with fellow "lost souls" Judy and Plato, hiding out in an abandoned palatial home and enacting the roles of father, mother, and son. For the first time, these three have found kindred spirits -- but the adults and kids who have made their lives miserable haven't given up yet, leading to tragedy. Based on the classic landmark film featuring James Dean.

Synopsis
A.R. Gurney's Love Letters chronicles the relationship between a man and a woman solely through their correspondence. The play traces the lifelong communication of the staid, dutiful lawyer Andrew and the lively, unstable artist Melissa, whose bittersweet and poignantly funny friendship and ill-fated romance takes them from second grade through adolescence, maturity, and into middle age. The story gradually unfolds from what is written - and what is left unsaid - in their letters. The words are both hysterical and moving and the audience comes to know both of them intimately; from their strict WASP upbringing, through political aspirations, love affairs, military service and artistic ambitions. Love Letters was a smash hit both off and on Broadway.
