It’s 1945. As America’s soldiers come home to ticker-tape parades and overjoyed families, Private First Class Donny Novitski, singer and songwriter, struggles to rebuild the life he left behind. When NBC announces a national competition to find the nation’s next great musical superstars, Donny sees a lifeline for himself and some fellow veterans that gives them the purpose they so desperately need. Together, they form a band unlike any the nation has ever seen. Along the way, they discover the power of music to face the impossible, find their voice, and finally feel like they have a place to call home.

Feast and Festivities by Patrick O’Connor will be serving a variety of food before and during the show and Creative Concessions will be selling beverages, from beer, wine and canned cocktails to soft drinks and water. Tickets can be purchased at WWW.TheStanley.Org, at (315)724-4000 or at The Stanley Theatre Box Office Monday through Friday 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.
