Bandstand!
The boys are back, but their war isn’t over.Bandstand is an unflinching and honest new musical about confronting the cost of war and finding salvation in the notes of a song.
Bandstand is rated PG. The characters are realistic people, returning veterans struggling with the horrors they had just faced in World War 2. They are dealing with survivor’s guilt, traumatic brain injury, alcohol abuse, PTSD, broken marriage, OCD, and other serious issues while readjusting to civilian life. These veterans come together with a Gold Star Wife to form a band for a song contest to “honor the boys returning home,” and learn that living life together and making music together helps them all to heal.
