The Ruxton Players, a community theater troupe that performs at the Church of the Good Shepherd, 1401 Carrollton Ave. in Towson, is hosting a special performance for Veterans Day, Nov. 11, for its fall production, "The Hasty Heart."
General admission tickets are $15, but veterans who bring a memento of their service will receive a discounted admission price of $7.50 for the Nov. 11, 8 p.m. show. For other performances in the show's two-weekend run, veterans' admission will be $12.
World War II veterans will be admitted free at all performances.
The show runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m., Nov. 11-20.
Based on the true World War II experiences of Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Patrick, "The Hasty Heart" is the story of an angry young Scottish soldier facing death, but finding a friendship thanks to the band of fellow patients who share his final days.
The play is directed by Bill Kamberger, who has been named "Baltimore's Best Stage Director" by the City Paper, and features local actors Morgan Stanton, Kara Turner, Mike Ware, Rodney Bonds, Paul Ballard, Micah Chalmer, John Wright, Donnie Lewis and Brian McDonnell.
The Ruxton Players troupe is in its ninth decade. For ticket reservations, call 410-823-0122.
