Bonnie, an idealistic but inexperienced acting teacher, finds herself paired with a group of combat veterans as part of a drama therapy program. As she is confronted with the reality of her reluctant new “students,” Bonnie struggles to find a way to build trust and find common ground. Inspired by stories shared by San Diego’s military and Chaldean communities, Naomi Iizuka’s new play explores the complexities of sacrifice and the resilience of those who have served.
