On Stage: Theatre American Hero George Street Playhouse, 103 College Farm Road, New Brunswick An Iraq war hero’s perfect life starts to unravel when a fellow soldier seeking justice shows up threatening to expose a hid- den past. From Christopher Demos-Brown, the author of last season’s American Son, this probing drama shines a light on how America honors its veteran NJ STAGE - ISSUE 44 soldiers as well as the corrupting effect of awards and commenda- tions, and questions what it truly means to be a hero. American Hero is directed by David Saint and presented at George Street Playhouse’s tem- porary home from January 30th through February 25th. INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 56
