SUMMARY:The American Soldier
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to dive deep into the fascinating history of American soldiers over the past 250 years – it’s going to be an eye-opening journey! July 25 at 7:00pm at Salem High School. \nThis production tells the story of the American soldier through fourteen characters based on real people\, actual letter\, and true experiences spanning from the American Revolution to present day. The play captures the discipline\, teamwork\, and brotherhood of military service while also examining the internal struggles soldiers face when returning home. Audiences meet a Revolutionary War soldier freezing at Valley Forge\, a WW11 veteran haunted by Iwo Jima\, a grieving Vietnam-era mother\, an Iraq veteran struggling to adjust to civilian life\, a family coping with repeated deployments and many others. Together these stories present a moving tribute to sacrifice\, service and survival. \nAs we approach the 250th Anniversary of our nation\, this performance serves as a time capsule –asking an important question: What do we\, as civilians\, owe those who have protected our freedom? This is a message for all ages\, military and non-military alike\, to better understand and honor the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families. \nThe production has been performed at the Kennedy Center\, Library of Congress\, Off-Broadway in New York\, and in 42 cities across the United States. This is truely and eye opener for all of us to resect and give thanks to our Military. \nYou will receive a America 250 commemorative ticket at the door. The actor will have a signing after the performance. Tickets are available on Eventbrite. Tickets will also be available at the door.
