The Black Rep Presents THE MONTFORD POINT MARINE 5/25-6/26
The day of July 10th, 1993 marks a special moment for Robert Charles Wilson. 50 years ago he enlisted to become a Marine at Montford Point. He proudly served his country in WWII at Iwo Jima and after exiting the service trained as a classical opera singer. But his only shortcoming in life was separating from his wife, Gwen, when she refused to chase his dream of becoming a famous singer. With their only son R.C. in town to celebrate the anniversary of his father's enlistment, this day brings a wave of memories back to Robert, along with a few unexpected turns in this World Premiere theatre event.
J. Samuel Davis, Chauncy Thomas, Linda Kennedy and Whit Reichert star in this production of The Montford Point Marine by playwright Samm-Art Williams, which is directed by Ron Himes and runs from May 25 through June 26, 2011 at the Grandel Theatre.
