April 13, 2018
Clarksville, TN – Although nearly 15,000 women served in Vietnam during the war, at that time there was little to no media coverage about these unsung heroes’ experiences and sacrifices, or their homecomings and readjustment difficulties.
This month, the Roxy Regional Theatre explores the often overlooked contributions of women in service with Shirley Lauro’s “A Piece of my Heart”, opening Friday, April 13th, at 8:00pm. In keeping with the theatre’s traditional pay-what-you-can opening night, all tickets not pre-sold at the regular ticket price will go on sale at 7:30pm that evening for a $5.00 minimum donation.
Sara Fetgatter, Zoe Abuyuan, Jackie Ostick, Jamila Hunter, Emily Rourke and Quinn Tierney Vaira star in Shirley Lauro’s “A Piece of my Heart” at the Roxy Regional Theatre, April 13th-April 28th.
