Nov. 10, 2017: UAA Theatre and Dance hosts preview of "I Will Wait: The Veteran's Spouse Project"
by Michelle Saport |
Right before Veteran's Day, UAA Theatre and Dance is excited to host a preview staged reading of an interesting theater piece about sending a loved one to war:
"Using actual spouses' experiences, we have woven them into a story through music, dance and drama to show the vast range of emotions it takes to bid goodbye and welcome them home. We begin in 1945 at the end of World War II and travel through forgotten Korea, the volatile Vietnam era, Desert Storm and end with the spouses caught in the current cycle of war and deployment. We will also examine our country's ever-changing response to those service members that they send into harm's way."
I Will Wait: The Veteran's Spouse Project will perform in the Mainstage Theatre in the UAA Fine Arts Building at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10. Admission is free.
