Letters from Max

Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents the live theater performance of Letters From Max, directed by Nancy Simon, on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 7PM, and Sunday, September 21, 2025 at 2PM. This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission. 

This play is an adaptation of Sarah Ruhl and Max Ritvo’s 2018 epistolary book, Letters from Max. A Poet, a Teacher, a Friendship, this intimate, poetic play explores the relationship between Sarah and her former student, Max. With humor, lyricism and candor, the two friends share letters and poems as Max faces terminal illness and tests poetry’s capacity to put to words what otherwise feels ineffable.

Letters From Max premiered off-broadway in 2023 at Signature Theater in New York City, directed by Kate Whoriskey and starring Jessica Hecht, Zane Pais, and Ben Edelman.
