August 9th, 1971
by Alex Giacin of Plymouth, CT
John Long of Torrington will direct the staged reading.
Two Vietnam vets find they still need to work out what happened on that
day in 1971 in Vietnam to find some closure. They look back with humor,
rage and sadness to analyze the different paths they took to Vietnam
and how they are forever connected to one another.
A
discussion with the author, director and actors will follow each staged reading. Admission
is $5.00 for each reading. Season subscribers get in free. Seating is
limited and cannot be guaranteed without a reservation.
