​

A one-act festival featuring four new plays written by military veterans about tipping-point moments in their lives when they could have been killed or died.

​

David Aldridge takes us on a ride to a crossroads, when time stops and a choice is made in BONNE ANNÉE; Rachel Landsee uses music and fantasy to create a surreal battleground where the knowns of military life collide with the unknowns of life outside the military in SOAR; Robert Waldruff drops us into a hot zone in Vietnam where a mysterious rescue raises more questions than it answers in GUARDIAN ANGELS; and Chuck Williamson invites us to join a group of soldiers at the moment when their world is flipped upside down in SKYLINE.

​

We're requiring all audience members to be fully vaccinated and to wear face masks in Firehouse
