The Birthday Lottery
by Richard Fouts, directed by Suze Allen
An Important New Work About the Vietnam Draft
‘The Birthday Lottery’ shows how the lives of America’s young men were shattered over an excruciating 2-hour period on Dec. 1st, 1969 .
On December 1, 1969, five fraternity brothers gather together to listen to the U.S. Army's draft lottery, which uses birth dates to determine the order in which they will be called to serve in Vietnam. Broadcast on national television and radio, the brothers anxiously listen as dates are drawn, one-by-one, over an excruciating 90-minute period. When the last date is drawn, the brothers react to the realization that their lives have been changed forever. They also begin to turn on each other.
What was YOUR number in 1969?
Or your father’s number?
Four performances only – March 29, 30, 31, & April 1
