The American Soldier

Join us for a heartfelt celebration honoring all who have served our nation. This powerful one-man Broadway play, written and performed by Doug Taurel, will be presented at Salem High School. Taurel's production has graced esteemed venues such as the Kennedy Center and Off-Broadway in New York.

The play presents the story of the American soldier through fourteen characters, based on real experiences and letters, spanning from the American Revolution to the present day. You will meet:

• A Revolutionary War soldier at Valley Forge
• A WWII veteran haunted by Iwo Jima
• A grieving Vietnam-era mother
• An Iraq veteran struggling to adjust to civilian life
• Families coping with repeated deployments

Witness these moving tributes to sacrifice, service, and survival. As we approach the 250th Anniversary of our nation, this performance challenges us to ask: What do we, as civilians, owe those who have protected our freedom?

This message resonates with all ages, military and non-military alike, aiming to foster a deeper understanding and gratitude for the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families.

🎟️ Tickets are just $20 and can be purchased at Ricky’s English Pub in Salem, Sandy Beaver Insurance in Lisbon, through Eventbrite, and from members of the Salem Federation of Women's Clubs.
