BWW Review: LOVE LETTERS at Des Moines Playhouse: A Welcome Journey
by DC Felton - June 12, 2020
Recently, the term intermission has taken on a new meaning in the theatre community.

One of them is Des Moines Playhouse. I attended a dress rehearsal of their socially distanced production of 'Love Letters,' which opens on June 12.
