SYNOPSIS: Mark is a recently retired Marine Captain with a wife and baby.  He is obsessed with the amount of veterans committing suicide (averaging 22 per day).  Along with his marine brother Betts and a crusty old Korean and Vietnam War vet “Uncle Harry”, Mark explores solutions to the high suicide rate among veterans.  He even gets a meeting with his Congressional Representative to discuss possible legislation.  As the day enfolds, Mark continues to count the vets committing suicide.  By the close of the play, Mark suffers a personal tragedy himself.  Will he be among today’s 22?

Adult situations/minor language -Topics: Suicide, minor simulated bloody injury in one scene, alcohol consumption. Parental Discretion Advised. We will leave it up to the parents to judge if their child is mature enough for these tough subjects. (No sexual content-only adult situations/topics)
