Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative (CPI) is looking for volunteer actors for a staged reading of a new play at the Fifth-Third Bank Theater (Aronoff center).
TITLE: Tales from ‘Nam
PLAYWRIGHT: Irvon Clear
DIRECTOR: David Bezona
SHORT SYNOPSIS:
Four women (all wives of Vietnam era veterans) are attending a fishing tournament where their husbands are participants. The tournament is rained out and they end up sitting at card tables drinking beer. They eventually end up in the same room with four veterans (two husbands and two not). The women challenge the men to tell their war stories and it is guided with three questions: What is the funniest thing that happened to you? What is the worst thing that happened to you? And, what is the scariest thing that happened to you? A tale of heroism and sacrifice evolves and ends with a statement of what it means to be a veteran of a war.
