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

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">The
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>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">As
the play hurtles toward life-changing consequences, the
enormity of this war contrasted with the microcosm of one
small town exposes the desires, the betrayals, the loves
& the ability to forgive, of characters who are at war
within themselves.<br>
