We Got Your Six Play
Lightning Rod Theater Production
Lightning Rod Theater (https://www.lightningrodtheater.com) production, We Got Your Six, story by Shawn Dickens, Rob Rain, Matt Stevens, Anonymous and Paul Hoan Zeidler, written and directed by Paul Hoan Zeidler.
News about the horrific bombings at the Kabul Airport during the American evacuation on August 26, 2021, prod six US veterans and their Afghan interpreter to relive their memories of a brutal firefight with the Taliban a decade before.
Developed from monologues penned by former members of the armed services during LRT's Lightning in a Bottle reading series, the run of this production will include a show with free admission to veterans, followed by a talkback with our veteran support group partners.
“I hated myself. Hated the world for not allowing me a moment’s grace for all my hard work and sacrifice. Hated those who cheered me on with the empty head-nod of, ‘Thank you for your service,’ as though they already knew my story and they didn’t really need to hear it.” — US Marine, WE GOT YOUR SIX

Lightning Rod Theater was founded in the belief that a new play needs to do at least one of the following: Tell a story no one has ever heard. Show the audience a scene they have never experienced. Dramatize characters or relationships they aren’t overly familiar with. Or explore conflicts and themes the audience has never or rarely considered. The company casts a wary eye on the conventional and always seeks to find "the new."
Lightning Rod Theater is a 501c3 nonprofit committed to finding and performing new theatrical work and reinterpreting the classics.
We want to tell stories no one has ever heard, dramatize cutting-edge characters and relationships, and explore challenging conflicts and themes. We seek the new every time we step on stage.
