Set in a peacetime United States of America, the story follows the arrest and trial of two young United States Marines accused of deliberately killing a fellow Marine at their barracks in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Sorkin's searing and tense courtroom drama not only showcases his unique humor even when dealing with painful subjects, but continues to resonate as a portrait of the conflicts that arise when a military that must be ready for combat at all times must still exist within a civilian society. "A Few Good Men" continues to shine a light on the peer pressures and philosophies experienced by young men and women in the military, and begs the question "Who will guard the guardians?"

The stellar cast and crew comprised of both US Military Veterans and non-Veteran professionals includes: Collin Snider, US Army Veteran James Peck, Josh Bresette, Tomer Oz, US Marine Corps Veteran Bob Boucher, Sam Pannier, Steve Bornstein, US Army Veteran Kevin J Dumont, US Army Veteran Scott Degan, Don Goettler, Alex Pease, Richard Salvati, and Leslie Hamblin.

This production is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

Veteran In Performing Arts-VIPA is a 501 (c) (3) Not-For-Profit Theater Company run by US Military Veterans and performing arts professionals dedicated to integrating Veterans from all branches of the United States Military into the performing arts to work alongside professional performers, production staff and technical crews, including those Veterans with combat-related injuries and trauma.

About the Players' Ring: Since 1992, the mission of the Players' Ring has been to promote the efforts of local artists through the production of original works, while providing an affordable theater space to local production companies. "The RIng" provides an environment where artists can thrive, grow, take risks, and make daring choices. For more information about the Players' Ring, please go to www.playersring.org
