Sergeant York: The Play depicts the life and times of WWI hero and Tennessee resident, Alvin C. York. The audience plays the role of the folks who have gathered on the front porch steps of the York family home, wanting to listening, first-hand, to the WWI hero tell his stories of growing up in Pall Mall, becoming a Christian, his role in the battle of the Argonne Forest, the making of the film Sergeant York and the creation of the Alvin C. York Institute. The audience waits with anticipation for one of Gracie's home-cooked meals while being entertained by one of the most decorated soldiers of WWI.
What they're saying about SERGEANT YORK: THE PLAY...
Playwright Lisa Soland has really captured the heart and soul of what my great grandfather, Alvin York, was all about. She's done extensive research, not only on Sgt. York, but interviews with the family, spending a lot of time in Pall Mall, getting to know the culture and the family and the story about the man behind the medals. This play captures Sgt. York's loyalty to God and country, and his service to the community. It's simply a wonderful play.
-- Deborah York, Executive Director of the Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation and great granddaughter of Alvin York
Lisa Soland's wonderful new play tells the story of WWI war hero Alvin York. The play is full of folksy humor and wisdom as Sgt. York recounts his life from his boyhood on a poor Tennessee farm to his hard-drinking days and eventually the rediscovery of his faith. Sergeant York: The Playis always entertaining, but is also a powerful statement on the nature of war and the power of faith.
-- Peter Colley, Playwright/Screenwriter/Librettist
Sergeant York: The Playis incredibly historically accurate, and true to the essence of Sgt. York's story. Seeing this play is a great opportunity to learn more about a true American hero.
--Joshua Waggener, Sgt. Alvin C. York State Park Manager
This one-man performance uniquely shares the faith story of an incredible, national hero, Alvin York. Lisa Soland has devoted her significant abilities to share the story of Alvin York's deep personal faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. The actor, Greg Helton, provides a simply amazing work of bringing to life the wisdom, humor and testimony of Alvin York.
-- Sam Polson, Lead Pastor of West Park Baptist Church
Fantastic play!! Lisa Soland was able to capture the humor, spirit and devotion to God of my Grandfather. She spent many hours with our family that knew him, especially the surviving children. Thank you 'Team York' for this great play and for honoring him and keeping his story alive. A job well done!!!
-- Colonel Gerald York, grandson of Alvin York
Sergeant York: The Playis real good. A lot of that stuff the character of Alvin said in the play, I heard Daddy say all the time.
-- Andrew Jackson York, son of Alvin York
