We have always known how to send our young to war, known to welcome them back with parades, garlands, and trumpets. We have never known how to bring home their hearts and souls. - Boogieban is the story of a young soldier returning from Afghanistan with nightmares. The story has strong elements about war � but is not a play of war. It is a play of the journey that two men from two different military generations take together, a journey they take to that mystic place where hearts alter. � � Donald Fidler, playwright.

Wilkes Playmakers will present Boogieban, featuring Ryan Walsh in the role of Specialist Jason Wynsky and Justin Gambill in the role of Lieutenant Colonel Lawrence Caplan. This riveting drama will be presented as a Black Box Production allowing the audience an intimate venue for experiencing the story which is so relevant to today�s society.
