Jake Gyllenhaal hits the stage to perform during the first public U.S. performance of Letters Live held on Monday (February 26) at the Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles.
The 37-year-old actor was joined at the event by Isla Fisher, Annabelle Wallis, James Corden, Mark Hamill, Aisha Tyler, Shirley Manson, Danny Huston, Lucy Yeomans, Anjelica Huston, Catherine Keener, Stephen Fry, Reggie Watts and Jarvis Cocker.
Letters Live, hosted by NET-A-PORTER and MR PORTER, celebrates the enduring power of literary correspondence by pairing together distinguished actors and persons of note to perform prescient and thematic letters from oftentimes the most unlikely of original correspondents.
The net profit from ticket sales (following the show’s production costs) were donated to partner charities 826LA, a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students with creative and expository writing skills, and Women for Women International, a charity which supports women survivors of war living in some of the world’s most dangerous places to rebuild their lives and inspire hope for the future.
