Home Front at The Victory Theatre Center

This country will break your heart. The Victory Theatre Center presents the moving story of a post-World War II interracial marriage by Tony® Award-winning playwright Warren Leight (Side Man). An African American soldier and a white woman fall in love the night World War II ends — a time of euphoria for Americans after years of devastating conflict. But can that sense of good will and new beginnings wipe away the racial mistrust and discrimination in a country still deeply mired in the Jim Crow Era?
