Art Center Theatre Presents You’ve Got Hate Mail

Marco Island Center for the Arts’ Arts Center Theatre is delighted to present You’ve Got Hate Mail, a laugh-out-loud comedy running April 9–26, 2026. Written by acclaimed playwrights Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore and directed by Joan Gerberding, this witty production delivers a modern twist on romance in the digital age.

You’ve Got Hate Mail is a hilarious broadband comedy of errors that dives into the chaos of online relationships, where love and deception collide with just one click. The story unfolds entirely through emails exchanged on laptop computers, creating a clever and fast-paced narrative that captures the humor and pitfalls of online hook-ups and break-ups.

The plot centers on an office affair that spirals wildly out of control after a scandalous email lands in the wrong inbox. What follows is a cascade of misunderstandings, revelations, and uproarious consequences—complete with an unforgettable “chase” scene powered by cell phones and PDAs.

This talented cast brings the digital drama to life:

• Charlie Blum as Richard
• Jody Cameron as George
• Melinda Steffey as Stephanie
• Leslie Sanderson as Peg
• Kayla Goss as Wanda

Audiences can expect sharp dialogue, relatable mishaps, and plenty of laughs as the characters navigate the unpredictable world of modern communication.

Performances will take place at Arts Center Theatre, located at 1089 N. Collier Blvd. in the Town Center, to the right of the Marco Brewery.

Tickets are available online or by calling the Box Office at 239-784-1186. To purchase tickets or learn more, visit the Marco Island Center for the Arts website.

Don’t miss this clever, contemporary comedy that proves when it comes to email—sometimes hitting “send” can change everything.
