No one wins and breaks hearts like Bill Posley (Shrinking, Kobra Kai).

Some people accidentally miss their bus, some accidentally misplace their keys, but Bill? In The Day I Accidentally Went to War, Bill will take you on a journey through childhood traumas to basic training and deployment, to coming home.

Packed with laughs, gasps and all the feels, this show bares brutal truths, honours the Veteran experience, and celebrates the human spirit.

 

From the award-winning team behind The Day I Became Black (Off Broadway Alliance Best Solo Performance) comes a poignant, emotional and hilarious comedy about the good, the bad and the ugly of Bill’s own Veteran experience.
