Relive history and remember the music and songs of America's war times - fromthe Civil War through our current turmoil. Hear the thoughts of local service men andwomen as they recollect their memories and dreams while away at war.

It is a "USO" style review of patriotic numbers, featuring songs made popular duringthe time of past wars. The show will feature several new songs written by our own JanKnewtson.

Music will be performed by a cast of eight of our area's gifted singers.This show is ICT's celebration of Iola's Sesquicentennial. (The 33 star flag in the

background of the show's logo was the official flag flying over our nation when Iola wasfounded.)

Winner of four Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Best Off Broadway Musical inits original New York production, this hilarious international hit was revived for anational tour in 2008 starring Sally Field! The show is a fund raiser put on by the LittleSisters of Hoboken to raise money to bury sisters accidently poisoned by the conventcook, Sister Julia (Child of God). Updated with new jokes, additional lyrics, two newarrangements and a brand new song.

"A hail of fun and frolic! Wacky and outrageous with a hysterical anything goes senseof fun!" ... N.Y. Times.
