ATC Presents the World Premiere of Bob & Jean: A Love Story by Tony Award-Winning Playwright Robert Schenkkan
 |
WHAT:
Lightning strikes and sparks fly when Bob and Jean meet in New York City, 1941. But their instant attraction is cut short as World War II drives the pair thousands of miles apart. While Bob is off to the Pacific as a bomb disposal officer, Jean is headed to boost troop morale as a USO actress. Is their connection strong enough to withstand the winds of war? Travel through their passionate, funny, sometimes desperate correspondence as they navigate battle, Broadway, and the complexities of the human heart. A new play written by Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning and Emmy-nominate playwright Robert Schenkkan, “Bob & Jean: A Love Story” is a stirring and romantic world premiere that tells the remarkable story of an exhilarating courtship.
