Eroica starts performances tonight at Redtwist Theatre.

Set during the Vietnam War the show explores issues that exist outside of time. Questions of commitment and betrayal arise, and everyone has to live with their choices. When political and social questions come up against certainties of the heart, love, honor, and patriotism are tested.

Maggie Speer directs David Alex’s play, which features Felipe Carrasco as Victor, Sarah Koerner as Grace, Sara Pavlak McGuire as Sally, and Garrett Young as Charles.

The creative team includes Elyse Balogh (set design), Becca Duff (costume design), Matt Reich (sound design), and Jessica Banaszak (stage manager).

Performances will run through August 7.
