Photos: Sharon Lawrence and Maureen McCormick in PEN PALS

Sharon Lawrence (NYPD Blue) and Maureen McCormick (Brady Bunch) continue the journey of friendship as they start in  Pen Pals, at the DR2 Theatre through November 23,2025. See photos here!

Produced by Lisa Dozier Shackett, written by Michael Griffo and directed by Suzanne Barabas, this moving story of connection and resilience unfolds through five decades of letters between two women who never meet in person. 

Inspired by a true story, Pen Pals invites audiences into the lives of Bernie and Mags—two women whose bond, forged in adolescence, endures for decades without them ever meeting in person. A story of connection, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between friends, Pen Pals is as poignant as it is powerful.
