“A compelling reminder of the human stories behind the uniform.”
— The Huffington Post
Critics praise The American Soldier as a riveting and deeply moving tribute — an intimate solo performance that powerfully honors the courage, sacrifice, and humanity of those who have served.
Inspired by real letters written by service members and their families, The American Soldier is a powerful solo performance that brings to life the voices of those who have served — from the nation’s earliest days to the present. Through stories of courage, sacrifice, humor, and hope, the play reminds us that history is lived one life at a time.
Intimate and deeply moving, this tour de force offers a timely reflection on service, freedom, and the enduring ideals that continue to shape our country.
This is a three day, limited engagement show at Cape May Stage.
