Don’t miss Theater One’s production of Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter that continues this weekend with performances Friday, March 15 and Saturday, March 16 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, March 17 at 2 p.m. The play, written by acclaimed playwright Julie Marie Myatt, is an intense look at returning home from war. Performances continue the following weekend through March 24 in the UUSS Main Hall. No reservations are necessary. Tickets available at the door: $15 General Admission, $13 for Seniors, Students, and SARTA members.

This production is directed by long-time UUSS members Lisa Erwin and Assistant Director Michael Erwin. The lead is played by local musician Sené Goss, who was recently featured on ABC10 and sang at the UUSS service on March 10. The talented cast includes several actors familiar to Theater One audiences: Shane Burrows, Stephen Watson, Ken Watkins, and Voress Franklin.

Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter is a contemporary story of personal trauma, recovery and acceptance. Upon her return to Southern California from a difficult tour of duty in Iraq, wounded Marine Sergeant Jenny Sutter finds herself in Slab City, sometimes known as, “The Last Free Place on Earth.” The eccentric inhabitants attempt to connect with her to help her return to her previous life. An edgy and poignant drama, Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter brings moving insight to the universally human themes of loss and healing, particularly as they relate to our veterans.
