Truly romantic dramatized love stories are rare these days, but on Saturday, June 7th, I had the pleasure of seeing what I would consider to be the most romantic love story I have ever seen acted out on stage! This is a phenomenal production put on at the Goshen Players Playhouse in Goshen, CT, a Civil War love story called A GOODNIGHT KISS. This amazing drama, based on a true story, is written by award winning musical dramatist and writer Cinzi Lavin, and directed by Kathy Kelly who helps bring out the best in this stellar cast! About ninety historical love letters compiled by Ernest Barker fuel the content of this stage production. The show depicts how in the 1860s, in this town of Goshen, CT, basic Christian values had a far larger impact on the general day to day lives of mainstream American citizens, a fact that naturally lends itself to greater true romance, since the personal love stories of every successful genuinely married couple are ultimately written by God, the very Author of love.
