Promo

The Dove is a new musical by Lisa Nicoll that explores post-traumatic stress through the personal, poignant, and even humorous stories of a group of veterans spanning from WWII to Iraq. Set inside a retreat attended by both active-duty soldiers and military vets, the play confronts us with the question: “What are we to do with our violence?” Featuring intelligent, relatable characters and music inspired by classic American styles, The Dove takes a fresh look at our response to war.

In this cadence, a Drill Sergeant leads his Troops in early morning PT.
