Tickets cost $20 for general admission; $17 per student; $15 for seniors, military and CSULB faculty and staff; and $12 for groups of 10 or more. You can purchase tickets at the campus's theater box office, the Carpenter Center or at the Cal Rep box office website.
According to Lauren Morris, director of marketing for Cal Rep, the production is based on interviews with men and women serving in the Iraq war. CSULB students with Master of Fine Arts degrees and in the theatre and dramatic writing program wrote the script.
"The focus of the stories in the play is not on the Iraq war itself, but on the effects of the war on family members here at home," Morris said.
Joanne Gordon, chair of the theater department, is the play's creator and director. She was inspired to make this production due to Cal Rep's connection with the National Guard at the Armory, she said.
