THE AMERICAN SOLDIER SOLO SHOW

A powerful one-man show that examines the sacrifices made by American soldiers and their families will come to the ninth annual Live at Heritage Center Performing Arts Series next month. The American Soldier Solo Show will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, November 11, 2021, in John and Alice Butler Hall, Heritage Center at the University of Dubuque.

Douglas Taurel's The American Soldier Solo Show is a mosaic of narratives based on and inspired by real stories and letters written by veterans and their families from the American Revolution, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Vietnam War, and the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. In this one-man show, Taurel will perform as men, women, children, African Americans, Southerners, Northerners, and Hispanics to reveal the struggles American soldiers face at war and their internal struggles to return home. This tapestry of different influences of race, nationality, and ethnicity is what makes this show captivating. It is what The American Soldier Solo Show is about - the human story. The show's goal is to honor our veterans and say thank you to their families for their immense sacrifices to our country.
