This week, I had the pleasure of attending the Opening Night of Ken Ludwig’s Dear Jack, Dear Louise—an evening we’ll never forget. A heartfelt thank you to Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig for joining us and sharing the remarkable true story behind the play, inspired by his parents’ courtship.

It was an honor to hear him speak so warmly about York, our community, and The Belmont Theatre.
