This Season’s Play Titles and Descriptions:
The God of Baghdad by Philip Trezza: A young Army medic, the first to respond to a car bombing in Baghdad, finds himself playing God, determining which victims may live and who cannot be saved.
Dress Code (by Joseph Maslanka): Recently out of the Marine Corps, Joe returns to work in the family bar in Philadelphia. A couple of patrons push his buttons, and he has to figure out if he’s ready to be an ex-Marine.
Living on a Prayer (by Rev. Laura Bender): A twenty-five year Navy/Marine chaplain answers the call for everyone in need, the wounded, the bereaved, the homesick and the frightened. But who does she talk to?
King Baby (by Daniel Barotti): Crossing The Line is a time-honored seaman’s tradition whenever a vessel crosses the equator. But this time, a leviathan Chinese destroyer shadows a U.S. Navy ship, putting the celebration at risk of an international confrontation at sea.
