THEATER: Fifth-Third Bank Theater (Black Box).

MALE CHARACTERS needed:
RESIDENTS 1- Young man who is now working in a hospital at the feet of a great surgeon, he is, however, pretty puffed up with his title of MD and a great deal of self-importance.

Sponsored by Cincinnati, Playwrights Initiative (CPI)
We are an official Resident Company at the Aronoff Center.

No rehearsals, but the actor is asked to read the script ahead of time and be prepared to impress. It is a public event in front of audience.

Title: “The G.I. Bill”

The GI Bill of Rights signaled the shift to the knowledge society.

Future historians may well consider it the most important event of the twentieth century.

The G. I. Bill play tells the story of six military veterans of World War II when they experience life as students at a small southern college.
