In the musical Private Robert E. Lee Prewitt, a prize fighter, arrives in Hawaii in November 1941 to G Company. His recruitment is strategic—to win the boxing competition and bring new pride and visibility to Captain Holmes and his regiment. When Prewitt refuses to fight, he becomes a target, embarking on a love affair with an alluring escort, paralleling a dangerous relationship between his platoon sergeant and the Captain’s wife. As the infamous date approaches, the claustrophobic world of the four lovers and the desperation of the soldiers of G Company splinter amidst an escalating war.
The workshop will also feature musical direction by Vadim Feichtner, projection design by Christopher Ash, lighting design by Dan Ozminkowski, sound design by Kevin Heard, scenic elements by Stanley Meyer, and costume elements by Tiffany Howard.
