Featuring a stellar cast including three Broadway favorites, this seminal work will be directed by Hangar Associate Artistic Director Jesse Bush.

The Hangar production features the talents of Jordan Gelber (Broadway's Avenue Q, All My Sons, Elf) as Barney Cashman, Jennifer Cody (Shrek, Urinetown) as Elaine Navazio, Leenya Rideout (Company, War Horse, Cabaret) as Jeannette Fisher, and Natalie Walker as Bobbi Michele.

Misled by the hawkish proponents of the Domino theory, the United States, the world's greatest ever democracy and most powerful country, launched in 1965 a massive attack upon Vietnam, an undeveloped mainly agricultural country whose sovereign territory amounted to barely three per cent of the geographic size of the United States. The casualties inflicted during the eight years of active war were equally disproportionate: almost 58,000 American soldiers killed vs. about two million Vietnamese civilians and military personnel, causing increasing domestic civil unrest and international embarrassment. Morally responsible to no other country except his own and its Constitution, President, Lyndon B. Johnson, commenced armistice talks in 1969, with the armistice treaty signed in 1973 by President Richard Nixon, with the eventual withdrawal of all American troops in April 1975. Even though the first-ranking member of the United Nations Security Council, the United States—just like the other most powerful nations throughout history—was able to allow itself to leave the morally binding question of “Sin and Retribution” unanswered.
