Not Too Far Distant: An Original Play by Becky Boesen

What Staff Sergeant Clarence Williams encounters during WWII challenges and changes humanity forever. History touches the present when a new generation takes a journey through time to experience World War II alongside Clarence himself.

Centered around his personal letters home, we learn that sometimes what seems so far away is much closer than we think. Filled with hope and heart, Not Too Far Distant honors the experience of the American soldier and reminds us that we all have the power – and the responsibility – to help create a brighter future.
