Rosanna Consalvo Sarto
MARGATE – Fool Moon Theatre Company’s production of A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters” will be performed 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 4 at the Margate Community Church, 8900 Ventnor Ave.
‘Love Letters,’ one of A.R. Gurney’s most beloved plays, is a tender, heart-breaking comedy that examines shared nostalgia, missed opportunities, and deep closeness of two lifelong, complicated friends. Andrew Ladd and Melissa Gardner exchange letters, but not marriage vows, in a warm and complicated friendship lasting 50 years.
Mark Sarto and Rosanna Consalvo Sarto star as the star-crossed lovers. Both are local favorites with extensive theatrical careers.
“Fool Moon Theatre is thrilled to have two exceptional actors open up our season,” Director Paul Herron said. “Love Letters will be a revelation to those who haven’t seen it and a visit from an old friend for those who have.”
Consalvo Sarto, recently seen in Fool Moon Theatre’s “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” was born and raised in the Atlantic City area, is a graduate of Holy Spirit High School and holds a BFA in Acting from University of the Arts in Philadelphia. She has performed and directed extensively off-Broadway, regionally and nationally, including “Hello Dolly,” “42nd Street,” “Bye Bye Birdie,” and “Rumors,” where she received a best actress nomination for the ACT award.
