A FEW GOOD MEN Next Up at Lakewood Theatre Company

Lakewood Theatre Company stages Aaron Sorkin's A Few Good Men at their theater in Old Hickory, beginning Friday, September 30, and running through Saturday, October 15.

A Few Good Men is the gripping drama of the trial of two Marines stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, accused of killing one of their own during a disciplinary action gone wrong - a "Code Red."  Lt. Daniel Kaffee, a Navy JAG lawyer who practices in plea bargains but has never seen the inside of a courtroom, defends the two with the help of colleagues Lt. Cmdr. Joanne Galloway and Lt. Sam Weinberg.  

Seeking answers, the three travel to GITMO to get answers from the steely, no-nonsense base commander, Lt. Col. Nathan R. Jessep.  Did the Marines kill a fellow soldier?  Did a superior officer order the hazing?  Only during the trial will the truth come out.   

A Few Good Men was originally produced at Broadway's Music Box Theatre in 1989 and brought to the silver screen in 1992. Sorkin wrote the play after his sister, a Navy JAG lawyer, was sent to defend a group of Marines who came close to killing a fellow soldier in a hazing gone wrong at Guantanamo Bay.  

Showtimes for A Few Good Men are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m.  Tickets can be obtained at www.TicketsNashville.com, or a limited number of reservations are available through the Lakewood box office (615) 847-0934.  Lakewood Theatre is located at 2211 Old Hickory Boulevard in Old Hickory.
