Letters Aloud: Thanks but no thanks – the best rejection letters ever!

The road to success is paved with rejection and boy oh boy, have we got the letters to prove it! Among the dozens of gems in Letters Aloud’s newest show, Stephen King receives his first rejection letter from “Spacemen Magazine”, Andy Warhol is asked to pick up his painting at the front desk before it is hauled away, Gertrude Stein gets a taste of her own repetitive medicine, a young Sidney Poitier tries to borrow $100 from President Franklin Roosevelt (he said no), and a 17-year-old college applicant rejects the rejection letter she receives from Duke University. But our rejectees don’t let the naysayers get them down. Karma and perseverance combine to hilarious and heartwarming results!

Letters Aloud presents a captivating odyssey across time and place. With music, visuals, and the help of a few local special guests, the Letter Aloud artists have traveled the country, sharing the powerful and intimate letters of individuals who have left their mark on history. With a power to evoke both laughter and deep emotion, these letters serve as a testament to humanity’s extraordinary ability to unearth hope, purpose, and happiness amidst life’s challenges. Join us as we celebrate the enduring spirit of connection through this almost lost art of personal correspondence.

Attendees will have the opportunity to submit their own letter of rejection for possible inclusion in the show.
