New production heading to doorsteps CCA announces new president, officers

Touchstone Theatre announces Letters from Far, a new science fiction story told through a series of mailed packages. The production will unfold weekly, arriving in audience members’ mailboxes from Feb. 15 to March 15.

Letters from Far tells the story of the fictional Rosensweig Expedition in February 2032 sent to explore a mysterious rift found in the American Midwest; the expedition is populated with scientists, journalists, and artists, tasked with cataloging and reporting what they find on the other side. The expedition does not return, and all that remains of them are the packages they sent home, including letters, drawings, and artifacts from the other side. Audience members are invited to read the final account of the party, in their own words, and piece together the last days of their journey.

Letters from Far begins hitting mailboxes Feb. 15; the cutoff date to register by purchasing a ticket is Feb. 8. Tickets are $25 per household/ mailing address. Tickets are limited and available by phone at 610-867-1689 or online at www.touchstone.org
