Oohrah! was subsequently produced at the Atlantic Theater Company, New York City (Neil Pepe, Artistic Director, Jeffory Lawson, Managing Director) as part of their 2009-2010 season, playing 1 to 27 September at Atlantic Stage 2, New York City.
In Fayetteville, North Carolina, sits one of the South’s largest military bases. Practically everybody’s somebody is over there. Flight Attendant Abby has finally agreed to settle down with her thoroughly unmilitary fiancé. Her sister Sara is thrilled to have her own husband back home once and for all. But when a mysterious Marine shows up on Abby’s red-eye flight, all bets on stability are off. Oohrah! asks how we can remain true to ourselves when the pressures of domestic and military expectation threaten all.
