Andrea Gibson’s *Love Letter From The Afterlife* is a multimedia celebration of poet Andrea Gibson’s work, combining film, live poetry, music, orchestral accompaniment, and intimate storytelling. The centerpiece is a film of Gibson’s final live performance, recorded at Denver’s Paramount Theatre in 2024 and produced by the team behind the Oscar-nominated documentary *Come See Me in the Good Light*.

The Goosebumps Orchestra will perform Blake Neely’s original score live alongside the film. Megan Falley, Gibson’s wife and fellow poet, will connect the evening through personal stories about their love, collaboration, humor, and artistic relationship, while guest artists including Mary Lambert join the performance. The event is designed as part concert, part cinema, and part communal celebration of Gibson’s enduring legacy.
