We love letters...

Since 2014, we have traveled the country sharing intimate letters written by 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 many challenges.

With live musical accompaniment and a dynamic slideshow, a Letters Aloud evening is guaranteed to inspire!
