Sponsor The First Day in December

'The First Day in December,' is a powerful and moving play that explores the themes of community, brotherhood, and the impact of the Vietnam War on American lives. We invite you to become a sponsor and play a vital role in bringing this important story to our stage. Set on December 1, 1969, the play centers around five fraternity brothers anxiously awaiting the results of the U.S. Army's draft lottery for Vietnam. As the lottery unfolds, their lives are forever changed. The bonds of brotherhood are tested, tensions rise, and each young man faces the uncertain future that awaits him. The play beautifully captures the essence of community within college life, highlighting the support and shared experiences that define these crucial relationships. It's a story of transformation, resilience, and the enduring power of friendship in the face of adversity.
