Dear Jack, Dear Louise

Crackling with humour, emotion, and poignancy, Dear Jack, Dear Louise is an inspiring reminder of the best we can be, even in the worst of times.

When two strangers meet by letter during World War II, a wartime romance begins to develop. U.S. Army Captain Jack Ludwig, a military doctor stationed in Oregon, begins writing to Louise Rabiner, an aspiring actress and dancer in New York City, hoping to meet her someday … if the war will allow. But as the conflict rages on, their relationship is threatened before it even starts.

Tony Award®-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, Lend Me a Tenor) tells the joyous, heartwarming story of his parents’ courtship – and the results are anything but expected.

When we arrive in St. Jacobs, we will stop for a visit at the St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market where every week, hundreds of vendors bring Ontario’s farm-fresh foods, crafts, imported goods and most things imaginable.

At 11:15am we will be driven to the quaint village of St Jacobs where we will have lunch at Jacob’s Grill.

When registering you choose from:

• two appetizers (Mixed Greens or Seasonal soup)
• three main course options (Fish & Chips – beer battered haddock, fresh cut fries, home made tartar sauce and creamy coleslaw, or German Schnitzel – crispy pork schnitzel, sauerkraut, german potato salad, grainy mustard and lemon, or Vegetarian Pasta  – Chef’s choice pasta.)

Dessert is Dutch Apple Pie. Coffee, tea and soft drinks are included but wine will be at your own expense.

After lunch you may have time to explore some of the shops in St. Jacobs before heading into the Schoolhouse Theatre to see “Dear Jack, Dear Louise.”  The show starts at 2pm. The Theatre is right in town at 11 Albert Street almost directly across the street from the restaurant.  

We should wrap up at about 4:30pm and arrive back in Toronto between 6:00-6:30pm.

Our chartered bus will be departing from Clatworthy Arena at 8:00 a.m. sharp. Clatworthy Arena is located in the northeast quadrant of the Leslie and John Street intersection.  Entrance to the arena (2400 John Street) is from the north side of John Street, just east of Leslie Street.

There will be a secondary pick-up point, about 30 mins later, at Exit 328 of Hwy 401. Take Hwy 401 Exit 328 / Trafalgar Rd. northbound. Turn Right / East at the Shell station at Steeles Ave. Turn right at first opportunity into Prime Outlets Mall and right again into Parking Area “A” just behind Shell station.
