In "American Soldiers," a new drama by Matt Morillo, a woman soldier, emotionally scarred by her service in the Middle East, returns uneasily to the home of her politically prominent Italian-American family in Long Island.

She finds that she has changed, but her family and their small town have not. As she struggles to take her boyfriend and sister away with her to start a new life in Colorado, her father struggles to hold the family together. The play reveals the power of family destiny and the emotional ties that bind.

This family drama breaks new ground for playwright Morillo, who up to now has made his reputation with comedies ("Angry Young Women in Low Rise Jeans with High Class Issues," "All Aboard the Marriage Hearse").
