David Rabe’s Streamers is a powerful, unflinching drama set in a 1960s Army barracks, where young soldiers await deployment to Vietnam. As racial tensions, identity struggles, and personal fears surface, the characters clash in a volatile mix of conflict and camaraderie. A gripping examination of masculinity, violence, and the cost of war, Streamers is the final play in Rabe’s acclaimed Vietnam trilogy. Winner of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Streamers promises an unforgettable night of theatre—urgent, human, and hauntingly relevant.
This play contains violence and strong language, including derogatory slurs reflective of its time and place. Viewer discretion is advised.
Join us for opening night — Thursday, October 16 at 7 PM — at a landmark rich with both theatrical and Lancaster history.
Before the show at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church's Fondersmith Auditorium, step next door for a brief historical tour of the sanctuary, open starting at 6 PM. Built in 1766, it stands among the oldest and most beautiful churches in Pennsylvania — a true gem of the city.
During intermission, the congregation will graciously host a charcuterie and mocktail reception, complete with a selection of hot and cold seasonal beverages.
Can’t make opening night? Tours and refreshments will also be offered at the Thursday, October 23 performance of STREAMERS.
