When 7Mary34 Director Trace Talley approached Marco Island Center for the Arts Director Hyla Crane about bringing his production of Aaron Sorkin’s “A Few Good Men” to the Arts Center Theatre, she jumped at the opportunity.
“It is a compelling piece,” said Crane. “Aaron Sorkin is a gifted playwright. There are people who don’t realize this was a play before it was made into a rather iconic film with Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise.”
More than that, Crane thinks the show will appeal to Marco Island’s large active duty and retired military population.
“I think a show that is speaking to people in the military will resonate with those who are here and want to see the production, and we are really excited to be bringing this remarkable production to the Arts Center Theatre,” Crane added.
Shows are Friday, Saturday and Sunday October 4 to13, and there are discounts for active and retired military.
