Both address issues of honesty and truth and quickly became known as the best of American writing.

A Few Good Men
Grades 6-12
Auditions August 22, 24 at NTPA - Plano
Performs October 6-8 at NTPA - Plano
|
|
Who will guard the guards themselves? A Few Good Men takes a biting look into the modern power plays of authority, sexism, politics, law, the military, and morality. The forceful presence of the Marine Corps officers are offset by the deceptively nonchalant Kaffee, seemingly preoccupied with little else besides his own entertainment. The Navy lawyer, a callow young man more interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain and a cover-up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defense team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and, in so doing, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honor on trial.
