Learn about auditioning
You will be moved by the true stories of six courageous women sent to Vietnam and their struggle to make sense of a war that irrevocably changed them and a nation that shunned them. The play portrays each young woman before, during, and after her tour in the war-torn nation and ends as each leaves a personal token at the memorial wall in Washington, D.C. A work with the music and soul of a tumultuous era in our history.
A Piece of My Heart is presented by special arrangements with Samuel French, Inc.
