Two Events to Celebrate Veterans
Phoenix College will honor veterans this November with two special events on campus. On Tuesday, November 9, 2010, community members are invited to a special presentation of Give 'Em Hell Harry!, with actor Gary Sievers playing the role of Harry Truman. The two-hour, one-man show about the 33rd commander-in-chief is on stage at 7:00 p.m. in the college's Bulpitt Auditorium.
Sievers has been playing Truman in one-man shows for 35 years, performing at colleges and universities across the country. The show most recently was greeted with a standing ovation at Chandler-Gilbert Community College and played to sold-out houses at Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, and Mesa Community Colleges earlier this year.
Proceeds from the performance will benefit the Maggie DiSanti Women Veterans Scholarship Endowment.
Tickets are $15 general admission, $12.50 for students/veterans/seniors and $10 each for groups of 8 or more. Tickets may be purchased online at www.macv.org, at the Phoenix College cashier’s office, and at the event on November 9th with cash or a check.
