Circle X's BATTLE HYMN Extends Its Run Through 3/7

By:

Due to popular demand and critical acclaim, Circle X's production of Jim Leonard's Battle Hymn has been extended! Purchase tickets before this beautiful World Premiere production sells out.

Purchase tickets by calling 323-461-3673 or buy online at www.fordtheatres.org.

BATTLE HYMN, a new play by award-winning playwright Jim Leonard, is the story of 16-year-old Martha's epic pregnancy and her incredible search for motherhood, meaning, and love in a war-torn American landscape. After being abandoned by her father, losing her true love and witnessing the horrors of the Civil War firsthand, Martha settles on one incontrovertible fact: She will not raise her baby in a blood-soaked, violent country. And so, Martha keeps traveling in search of a better world and a safe place to bring forth her child... this is easier said than done. From the mud and the blood of Fort Sumter to singing cows, San Francisco and the summer of love, Martha's journey embodies the tragedy, humor and hope that have helped shape the last 150 years of U.S. history. To purchase tickets, please visit www.fordtheatres.org. Please click here for the front and back of the Battle Hymn postcard to see the cast & designers.
