One act play by Larry Meier

For a few years Larry Meier has been writing stories for the Mighty Pen Project for veterans. Some of you are familiar with his true stories, such as “Quang tri Rain” and “The Salute.” Larry has recently written a one act play based on “The Salute” which has been chosen for the “War in Pieces” production at the Virginia War Memorial Theatre, April 4-13, by actors from Fire House Theatre. Four one act plays written by veterans will be presented. The Mighty Pen Project was developed by the Virginia War Memorial Foundation. The project is a 12-week long university-level writing classes offered for free to veterans and their families. We would love you to attend. There is plenty of parking in the Virginia War Memorial underground garage. Tickets are on sale now!
