Threads: The True Story of an Indiana Farm Girl in Vietnam

From the venue:
In August of 1968, a farm girl from rural Indiana stepped off a plane in Saigon. The people and events that led her there make for an extraordinary tale. From being held at gunpoint on her very first night in-country, to adopting an entire family of Vietnamese orphans, the heroine’s unique story is both universal and intensely personal. Based on interviews with the playwright’s mother, this one-woman show illustrates how interconnected we are, how we never know the influence a seemingly small action might have, and how in the span of an instant, some people change our lives forever.
