Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and the era’s defining protest movement, this production blends documentary-style storytelling with musical performance to chronicle the emotional and political impact of a generation-defining conflict. Through the voices of young soldiers and their families, the show explores themes of duty, dissent, and the personal cost of war, offering an intimate portrait of lives shaped by extraordinary circumstances.

This hybrid theatre experience integrates live performance with more than 20 iconic tracks from the 1960s and 70s, including “Gimme Shelter,” “Born to Be Wild,” “All Along the Watchtower,” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” These songs—many of which were shaped by or responded to the war—serve as both soundtrack and commentary, heightening the emotional resonance of the stories portrayed. The narrative draws from real-life accounts, evoking the draft, the battlefield, civil rights struggles, and the complexities of returning home.
