World Premiere engagement of a new play.

Synopsis:
The Arnolds are a tight-knit family unit of three. There’s the patriarch, Jerry, a Jewish combat veteran who fought against Hitler in World War II. In peacetime, Jerry wants to pass his successful restaurant business to his kids. He’s a widower.
There’s son Don, a veteran of the Vietnam conflict, who would be a fine physical specimen were it not for the E. Coli virus that has mysteriously infected his lungs. He’s the divorced father of two sons.
There’s daughter Val. She had been an antiwar activist during the Vietnam War, but nonetheless married a Japanese-American soldier. He later became a bank executive but died prematurely. The very recently widowed Val is doing volunteer work as a part-time caretaker for June, a paralyzed African American veteran of the Vietnam War.
Val and June bond, becoming close friends. But June makes it known that she has certain needs of a kind that Val may not be able to fulfill.
Don, Jerry and Val confront a crisis in which they realize that their government has betrayed them.
