Inspirational, honest, even heartwarming; frank, funny, and long overdue. This surprising and acclaimed new play, based on interviews with veterans and their families, puts aside politics and Hollywood alike to probe the unvarnished, and powerfully personal, truths of those who serve and sacrifice. How do you shift seamlessly from battlefields to backyard barbecues? What is the price paid by families at home when husbands, mothers, sons, and sisters go to war?

The Windy City’s comedy factory–birthplace of legendary laughmeisters like John Belushi, Stephen Colbert, and Tina Fey–blows into Charm City with a customized creation, a wild and wacky show in Baltimore, for Baltimore, and about Baltimore. It’s a slice of hometown humor, with maybe just a scoop of spoof.
“The Second City has always served as a bit of a tonic for times of difficulty and upheaval. It’s our job to laugh at what scares us, to make the unfunny funny, and to provide audiences with a chance to let go for a couple hours and just laugh.” —The Second City
