It's opening night of GHOST SOLDIERS🐻❄️ and we are sold out! Get your tickets for tickets for Friday and Saturday night while they are still available! NMU and North Coast Theatre Festival are excited to present this year's world-premiere play is titled Ghost Soldiers. This play is written by and will be directed by Keli Crawford-Truckey. Ghost Soldiers tells the story of the soldiers who were a part of the "Polar Bear Expedition" during World War I. The action jumps back and forth between brief vignettes between the 1930s, ’40s, ’50s, ’60s, '70s, and World War I (specifically 1918-1919). Inspired by the grandfather of NMU professors Paul and Dan Truckey, as well as other Michiganders who entered WWI looking to find part of themselves through their service as soldiers. Ghost Soldiers is a play that follows six young men who hoped to find themselves face to face with the Bolsheviks in frozen Northern Russia - a story about self identity, self acceptance, warfare, and tyranny. How we construct ourselves in the reflections of our family and country's politics. More importantly, it is about what we say to the people we love, and what we don't. GHOST SOLDIERS runs this Thursday, May 9-11 at 7:30pm in the Panowski Black Box Theatre.
