What would you do if leadership told you the mission was over, but the people youโd promised to protect were still in danger? Thatโs not a hypothetical. In August 2021, as Kabul fell and the Taliban closed in on the Kabul airport, retired U.S. Army Green Beret Lt. Col. Scott Mann faced exactly that question. His answer became one of the most remarkable rescue operations in modern American history, saving more than 1,000 Afghan commandos and interpreter s in danger of losing their lives. And you can see this magnificent one-man, one-act play while simultaneously benefiting APK Charities.
On October 2 at 7 p.m. and October 3 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., Torp Theater in Davidson Hall on the campus of Central Connecticut State University (1615 Stanley St, New Britain, CT 06050) will host 11 DAYS: The Story of Operation Pineapple Express, a play written and performed by Mann that puts that story, raw and unfiltered, on the stage. Tickets are $35 for general admission, $25 for veterans, active military, and first responders, and $10 for students.
