Cecil College presents 'The Love Letter Project, Part 3' Feb. 12-13


          NORTH EAST, Md. - An original production blending dance, music and theater will be performed by Cecil College's Performing Arts Program faculty when The CoLABorative presents "The Love Letter Project, Part 3" at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 12 and Saturday, Feb. 13, in the Milburn Stone Theatre on Cecil's North East campus.

          Parental discretion is advised. Tickets, which are $15 for adults, $12 for students and seniors, and $10 for children 12 and younger, can be purchased by phone at 410-287-1037, at the Milburn Stone Theatre box office, or online at www.milburnstone.org. The box office, located at One Seahawk Drive, is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday.

          Guests coming on Feb. 12 are invited to "Feed Your Passion" by joining the artists immediately following the show for a reception at the award-winning Fair Hill Inn, at Routes 273 and 213 in Elkton, Md. Cheeses, desserts, coffee and other beverages, including wine from the Fair Hill Inn's extensive list, will be available for purchase, and 20 percent of the proceeds will benefit the program.

          This year's production is created and performed by performing arts faculty members: Janaea Rose Lyn and Sunshine Webster-Latshaw, dance; Andrew Dickenson and Yeonjune Suh, music; and Shawn Hull and Heather Morrissey, theatre.

          Submissions for The Love Letter Project are solicited annually in a range of general categories to develop a new production presented each Valentine's Day weekend. Materials received are archived into a living library as a resource for future productions. For the first time, students from Cecil's Visual Communications Program have contributed images, based on the text used, and will be featured both in the lobby of the theater and as part of the presentation.

          "This year's submissions were drawn from Cecil students and alumni to reflect their experiences and perspectives," said performing arts coordinator Lyn. "Their submissions were integrated into the production and also used as a springboard for other pieces. As artists, and as educators, we are modeling the creative process for our students through the development and creation of a production based on a theme which has relevance for everyone in the community."

          As a result of the interest generated from last year's production, The CoLABorative was invited to the new Fringe Wilmington Festival in October to present the "Love Letter Project, Part 2" at the Baby Grand in Wilmington, Del. In addition to the internal support provided by Cecil College's Performing Arts Program and the Milburn Stone Theatre, the Cecil County Arts Council also assisted in funding this production for the second consecutive year.
