            Both a love story and a wartime chronicle, this powerful
            play reveals the effects of the Vietnam War on a group of
            friends living in a small town in Northeast Ohio. The play
            opens in September of 1970, four months after the shootings
            at nearby Kent State of May 4, 1970, and months before the
            Vietnam War draft lottery of 1971. The script is based on
            Lax's novel, </font><span

            young men must examine their views of war andconsider the
            fate that awaits them; the young women and other townspeople
            face the possibility of losing their husbands, boyfriends
            and friends. Each member of the group embarks on a personal
            search that will bring very real and very adult conflict and
            pain and strip away their youthful naivete. </font></div>

            the play hurtles toward life-changing consequences, the

            small town exposes the desires, the betrayals, the loves
            & the ability to forgive, of characters who are at war
