12 years ago, I directed A Piece of My Heart at Henderson Civic Theatre in Henderson, Texas. The show proved to be a major success for the theatre and was an incredible experience. The cast was exceptional and a strong bond was formed between us while working on the project. To this day I have never forgotten the times we shared together.
A Piece of My Heart is a powerful, true drama of six women who went to Vietnam – five nurses and a country-western singer booked by an unscrupulous agent to entertain the troops. The play portrays each young woman before, during and after her tour in the war torn jungle and ends as each leaves a personal token at The Wall in Washington.
I am happy to announce that we are in the works to schedule a reunion of this amazing experience. In Spring 2010, there will be a reading of the show featuring the original cast members as a fundraiser for Henderson Civic Theatre. I will return to direct the reading and it is sure to be an unforgettable experience. Once the dates are solidified, I will post information on how to obtain tickets to the event. I cannot tell you how excited I am.
