The Red Badge of Courage

boots on the ground theater has added an encore performance of The Red Badge of Courage that will be free for Veterans and their families. The additional performance will be on Sunday, November 4th, at 6:00 PM, at the Southampton Cultural Center. Veterans need to email Kirsten Lonnie at the SCC to reserve their free seats in advance.
Stephen Crane’s monumental Civil War classic, The Red Badge of Courage, has been described as a “parable of the inner battle every man must fight.” It centers on Henry Fleming, a young Union soldier who battles his inner demons as he runs from and eventually faces his greatest fears. Published in 1895, TRBOC is considered the first great war novel and has never gone out of print.
The cast includes Christopher Levi–an Iraq War Veteran and Wounded Warrior. Consulting on the show is another Veteran, Captain Joseph Bilardello, who served in Vietnam and is the Commander of the 67th NY Civil War Reenactors.
Historical accuracy is a high priority for producer Bonnie Grice. Great attention has been given to collecting costumes and props that are true to the period. To enhance the historical experience, an exhibition of Civil War memorabilia will be on display in the Cultural Center’s gallery. This rare collection will be curated by Stephen Gould in collaboration with the Southampton History Museum.
