Two twenty-plus-year veterans return home after their convoy is hit by an IED in Iraq. Torn between family and the call of duty, their wars continue at home, opening old wounds of betrayal, fear, infidelity, and loneliness for them and their wives. In this touching, poetic, brutal and romantic commentary on current events, the veterans and their fractured families are forced into a surprising and bitter realism. And, only one thing is certain - the high cost paid by all.
Down Range opens Wednesday, October 28 and runs through Saturday, November 14. Performances take place Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8pm, and Sunday, November 8th at 3pm. A complete calendar of performances can be found at www.smarttix.com.
Down Range is 2 hours with one intermission.
All proceeds from Down Range ticket sales will be donated to Soldier’s Heart, a veterans’ return and healing charitable organization addressing the emotional and spiritual needs of veterans, their families and communities.
Down Range is sponsored by Beth Davis In Good Company, a 501(c)3 dedicated to creating a greater interest in and appreciation of the arts by supporting emerging artists, original productions and experimental ideas.
