A new play by David Abbinanti. We will be the Tennessee premiere!
When Denise D’Onofrio, a New York City part-time real estate agent, stumbles upon a collection of water-damaged letters hidden in an apartment building’s storage loft, she assumes they’re worthless. But as she and her husband Richie investigate, they uncover something extraordinary: lost messages from passengers aboard the Titanic. As experts confirm the letters’ authenticity, Denise is torn between the financial freedom selling the collection could bring her struggling family and the moral weight of returning these artifacts to the descendants of those who wrote them.
Letters From the Titanic is a poignant, character-driven dramedy that blends contemporary humor with historical depth. Told through Denise’s emotional journey spliced with vignettes of scenes aboard the doomed vessel, the play explores the legacy we leave behind, the unexpected ways the past can shape the present, and the choices we face between doing what’s easy and doing what’s right. Rich with humanity, historical echoes, and heartfelt storytelling, this is a play about everyday people asked to do something extraordinary—put morality ahead of money—with nothing but their conscience to guide them.
Rated PG-13
