Letters Never Sent - Liz Feldman and Pamela Ribon revive the delicate art of letter-writing by
sharing the letters hidden in the back of their closets, shoved underneath their underwear, and tucked in
the pages of their childhood diaries. They come clean on their feelings about love, religion, fame, and
people who like to be peed on. Letters Never Sent satisfies the deep desire to read other people's mail
without having to share any of your own. Comedy Central Stage, March 2004. Stages Theatre, April 2004.
