In Fayetteville, North Carolina, home to one of the South's largest military bases, practically everybody has somebody “Over There.” Sara is relieved when her husband Ron returns home from an uneventful tour in Iraq, but he's finding it difficult to settle back into the domestic bliss that is “home improvement” and “Rachael Ray's 30-minute meals.” Sara's sister Abby has set herself up for an uneventful life with a civilian fiancé who's more interested in PlayStation than the battlefield. But when a hot, mysterious Marine walks into their lives, all bets on stability are off.

The design team for Oohrah! features scenic designer Lee Savage, costume designer Jessica Wegener, lighting designer Tyler Micoleau, and sound designer The Broken Chord Collective.
