Opening is 7:30 p.m. Fri., Nov. 15, although there is a Thursday evening preview performance. The play, created by the Footprints Performance Collective, runs through Nov. 24 and is part of the Mixed Blood Theatre series. The cast includes 22 actors and musicians, including 15 veterans and military personnel.
According to press materials, the script was inspired by more than a hundred interviews with veterans and service members: "The stories of new recruits, veterans, and advocates from all conflicts and on all sides weave together as the residents of Smedley face the dilemma of how to honor the memory of those who have served in their community."
Free tickets are "first-come, first-served," but may also be reserved for a $20 fee. Show times are 7:30 p.m. all days but Sunday. Sunday performances are 3 p.m. matinees. The Sat., Nov. 23 performance will feature audio description and American Sign Language interpretation.
