The American Place Theatre’s Literature to Life® Stage Presentation of The Things They Carried By Tim O’Brien

Performed by Billy Lyons and directed by Wynn Handman. As part of The Big Read, The Things They Carried returns! Considered one of the finest books about the Vietnam War, this is a compassionate, and profound tale of the American soldier. The stage presentation, a collaboration with O’Brien, brings to life five of the short stories from the book.

During the week of September 23, mini performances and discussions will be held at Elgin Community College. Call the ECC box office at 847-622-0300 for updates on times and locations.
