About The Show
Over 7,000 women volunteered to go to Vietnam during the war; to help the solders, to make a difference. Leaving their homes as kids, they returned as adults and found themselves changed in an unchanged world.Shirley Lauro's "A Piece of My Heart" follows the lives of six of these women. Through the bombs, blood, and warfare they are able to find friends, lovers, and a daily routine. Come time to leave, they find themselves stuck between two worlds. "Everyday life" back home becomes the true battle for these ladies, as their normal lives are no longer normal.
Directed and produced by three passionate women, this production will combine performance and multimedia to bring the stories of the play's six heroes to life. IVP believes that these stories are essential; without learning from the past, we cannot hope to improve the future.Infinite Variety Productions started with two actors wishing to change downtown theatre by tackling plays that might incite discussion and emotion in the audience. Ashley Adelman and Maria Makenna started this journey last spring with a production of Jean Paul Sartre's "No Exit", which opened at Theatre For The New City to sold out audiences. They combined forces with Bridget Leak, a fellow MFA classmate, and have been honored to work with her since. After a year of work, they had pulled together the perfect team for "A Piece Of My Heart". They hope the audience will be equally moved by these remarkable stories.
