Hey you. 👋

Were you in the audience for: A Piece of My Heart?
Here’s your chance: you have direct access to the producer and director....What would you want to say?

Something you loved? Something you questioned? Something you didn’t understand? Something you’re still thinking about? Something you wish we’d done differently? Something you want to see next?

You can tell me what you thought, what you felt, what worked, what didn’t, or absolutely nothing at all. 😂

No survey. No rating system. Just an open door.

I’m listening. ❤️

So exciting to see this amazing play getting more traction on stages and public recognition! It is an amazing story and a great piece of work!

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) – A Piece of My Heart is coming to the Ivoryton Playhouse, shining a spotlight on the often-overlooked stories of women who served during the Vietnam War. Based on interview…

And just like that…A Piece of My Heart has come to a close.

Two performances. Two standing ovations. A lot of laughter, a few tears, and so many conversations.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who helped bring this production to life - our cast, our veteran speakers, the people who opened doors for us, helped spread the word, welcomed us into their communities, and showed up to listen.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who sat in those rooms and gave these stories your time and attention. That is the whole point of making theater: to bring people together, give a story a place to land, and see what happens next.

I’m proud of what we made. I’m grateful for the people who made it possible. And I’m leaving this experience with a lot to think about.

Thank you. ❤️

WHO ARE THESE WOMEN?

You've probably heard the history.

But what do you know about the women who lived it?

A Piece of My Heart brings the stories of American women who served during the Vietnam era to life - right inside an American Legion Hall.

And after our Michigan City performance, audiences called it powerful, important and moving. They laughed. They cried. They cheered. They gave us a standing ovation.

Now Whiting gets the final performance.

Sunday, September 20 | 2 p.m.
American Legion Post 80 | Whiting
$10 admission - online or at the door!

Come curious.

You might leave knowing something you didn't know when you walked in.
