LCHC TO HOST VETERANS’ DAY PROGRAM

Two actors from Austin Shakespeare will read letters written by Lampasas County soldiers who fought in World War I and World War II. All the soldiers survived the war and offer a unique viewpoint. Some of the letters are comical, and some are poignant. All of them are immensely interesting. A few illustrate larger issues that were unfolding at the time. Background information will be given before the readings to give clarity to the soldiers’ perspective during their stressful service.

Austin Shakespeare is a non-profit organization that is a staple in the Austin theater community. They are professionals who use the power of words to convey human emotions and make real connections between the speaker and the audience.
