Star Spangled Girls At The Brock
The play titled Star-Spangled Girls will be performed Saturday, June 30 at 7 p.m. at the Brock Performing Arts Center, North Main Street, Mocksville.
With a mixture of music and drama, entertainment and history, the play’s five professional actresses recognize the unsung heroines of World War II - the women who served in the military. Come hear familiar old tunes and reflect on a piece of history.
Brenda Schleunes, who serves as artistic director, founded the Touring Theatre Ensemble of North Carolina. For this production she created five composite characters who meet 20 years after the war and reminisce about their military experiences. The play follows the women from recruitment and basic training through work assignments in the United States and overseas to the end of the war.
Stories of love and adventure, patriotism and sacrifice, and loss and discrimination reveal how these “star-spangled girls” became pioneers in the women’s movement. Popular songs from World War II underscore the emotions and experiences of the women ... subscribe to the Davie County Enterprise Record, P.O. Box 99, Mocksville, N.C. 27028.
