The United States Merchant Marines took a lead role in the country's war efforts during the Second World War. They lost the most lives among any other branch of the military. Yet, only over half a century later, their sacrifice seemed to have gone to smoke, slowly fading from the annals of history and reminisced only by their scant survivors. It is this sentiment that motivated author and Merchant Mariner veteran himself, Bernard F. Flynn to pen down 'Bargain Basement War Heroes' (published by AuthorHouse) as a tribute to the men and women who fought with their lives in battle.

Rubicon Theatre Founders Karyl Lynn Burns and James O'Neil announce the company's 2016 Season of mainstage productions, entitled "Fair Ladies, Fine Gentlemen (and Others)." The season features two American Premieres, a beloved classic, a one-person drama about an American icon, and a campy musical send-up of '50s sci-fi films loosely based on Shakespeare's The Tempest. The season opens with See Rock City (January 27-February 14, 2016), the second play in the Nibroc Trilogy by Arlene Hutton. May and Raleigh's Appalachian love story continues as the couple plans a honeymoon in Rock City, Tennessee in 1943. When victory overseas brings unexpected consequences at home, May and Raleigh are forced to face hidden truths and find common solutions to the challenges of a new, post-war America. See Rock City stands alone as a funny, touching and universal portrayal of a young couple very much in love.
