Directed by Paul Hoan Zeidler. We Got Your Six, is the sixth Hollywood Fringe production that Lightning Rod Theater has presented. 

News about the horrific bombings at the Kabul Airport during the American evacuation on August 26, 2021, prod six US veterans and their Afghan interpreter to relive their memories of a brutal firefight with the Taliban a decade before.

Opens Sunday, June 4th at 5pm at Asylum @ McCadden Theatre (1157 N. McCadden Place, Los Angeles, CA 90038). There is a performance Saturday, June 10th at 7pm, Saturday, June 17th at 8pm, Friday, June 23rd at 8:30pm, and Saturday, June 24th at 1pm.

Developed from monologues penned by former members of the armed services during LRT's Lightning in a Bottle reading series, the run of this production will include a show with free admission to veterans, followed by a talkback with our veteran support group partners.

“I hated myself. Hated the world for not allowing me a moment’s grace for all my hard work and sacrifice. Hated those who cheered me on with the empty head-nod of, ‘Thank you for your service,’ as though they already knew my story and they didn’t really need to hear it.”
— US Marine, WE GOT YOUR SIX
