In this hilarious and heart warming, Tony Award winning semi-autobiographical Neil Simon play, young Eugene Morris Jerome enlists in the U.S. Army at the end of World War II. He is shipped from his Brooklyn home to basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi. At boot camp, Eugene is antagonized by the manic drill instructor, is introduced to adulthood, love and sex through his experiences with a diverse and rowdy group of young recruits, his first girlfriend, and a local prostitute.

An Exploration of Light, Sound and Spirit: A presentation of 7 videos synthesizing music and projected imagery by Ken Goodrich of Hawaii Photo Retreat.

Walking into a sunlit forest, gazing upon a turquoise sea, hearing the strains of a haunting melody or the wind in the trees, we can be transported to other realms out of the bounds of time and place.

Utilizing music from many cultures and images ranging from luminescent landscapes to microscopic crystal formations, Goodrich's multimedia explorations are the celebration of the spirit that animates all beings.
