Daniels, Weaver to perform "Love Letters"

The Ann Arbor News

Jeff Daniels and Sigourney Weaver will team up for a one-night-only performance of A.R. Gurney's two-person play "Love Letters" in Detroit Saturday night as a benefit for Daniels' Chelsea-based Purple Rose Theatre and also for the Detroit Film Theatre.

Much like Daniels, Weaver is also involved in her own theater company, the New York-based Flea Theater. Daniels joined Weaver for a fundraising production of "Love Letters" in New York last year, and now Weaver is returning the favor.

"I said 'I'll do it for you if you do it for me,' " Daniels told The News recently. "I was happy to help."

The performance will take place at the restored Detroit Film Theatre, part of the Detroit Institute of Arts, 5200 Woodward Ave.
