'The Long Way Home': A New 'Tracers' Theater Experience

The Vietnam War play “Tracers” was created by a group of Vietnam veterans in Los Angeles in 1980. The play—a collage of interrelated scenes that follows the lives of a group of infantrymen from basic training through their combat in Vietnam and then to their homecoming—is a powerful one that has resonated with audiences in the many productions that have been produced throughout the nation in the last thirty-two years.

Now comes “The Long Way Home: Reflections on the Tracers Journey, ” an inside-baseball look at “Tracers”  by one of its creators, John DiFusco, who also directed the play in 1980. The piece is a multimedia mix of poetry, projections, story-telling, and music. It opens on Saturday, November 3, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays through November 24 at the United States Veterans’ Artists Alliance Theater  in Culver City, California.

Veterans will be admitted to the performances free of charge.
