This double-bill reading features recollections from Tom Patterson’s life, the founder of the Stratford Festival.

Love, Tom is a collection of letters written to his parents during his service in World War II, beginning at the age of 20. “Have You Talked to My Mother?” transports us to the Festival Theatre on July 2, 1957, where Tom recounts an unexpected journey of generosity that helped bring his dream to life. Julia Rank wrote both pieces for a one-man reading featuring Scott Beaudin as Tom Patterson.
