The play is a timely play based on the true stories of the 265,000 American women who served in the Vietnam War. The play follows six diverse women - two army nurses, a navy nurse, an intelligence officer, a Red Cross volunteer, and a USO Entertainer - as they navigate through the challenges of their service in Vietnam and their demons upon returning to the United States. Today, as we find our nation once again involved in a foreign war, A Piece of My Heart offers the human stories that can heal a divided nation.
Starring in the show are local actorsTerri Stultz, Kizzy Hearn, Kathy Herrin, Danae VanVickle, Abby Larsen, Julie Gall andEldon
VanVickle.

The show is directed by Tanya A. Gatlin, (her directorial debut), who said "This show has been an emotional roller coaster! We hope that we have done the Vietnam Veterans justice in telling their plight. To all of our Veterans, 'Welcome home.' We hope to make you proud."

There is an optional ticket for dinner which will be served before the show as well as normal theatre tickets. (This show is a benefit for the VFW.)
