Theater

Alan Rosenberg and Marg Helgenberger know playwright A.R. Gurney is perhaps the quintessential chronicler of WASP American life. So why are the Jewish actor and his lapsed Catholic TV-star wife performing Gurney\’s \”Love Letters\” June 9 at the Skirball Cultural Center to benefit West L.A. congregation Adat Shalom?\n\n\”It\’s a bit odd,\” says the willowy Helgenberger, 43, who\’s on the CBS smash hit \”CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.\”\n\n\”But theater is the purview of Jews more than any other group,\” pipes up Rosenberg (\”The Guardian\”). \”So the play wouldn\’t have been successful if Jews hadn\’t gone to see it.\”
