Long Beach Veteran’s Day
Doing what you believe is right isn’t always easy…particularly when you’re an anti-war activist drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War….
The Found Theatre is proud to host the exclusive Southern California engagement of Howard Petrick’s award-winning solo show “Breaking Rank!” Fresh from the prestigious, invitation-only New York Solo Festival, Petrick will appear at The Found for three performances only: Friday and Saturday, November 9 and 10, and Sunday, November 11.
California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) will host a ceremony in honor of Veterans Day on Thursday, Nov. 10, beginning at 11 a.m. at the Speakers Platform in front of the University Bookstore.
