Adopt A Sailor

An original play by Charles Evered

A self-involved New York couple adopt a young sailor from Arkansas during Fleet Week.

Adopt a Sailor is about Patricia and Richard, a successful and hip couple from New York City who inadvertently "adopt a sailor" during Fleet Week in New York City, and the young man from Turkey Scratch, Arkansas who changes their lives forever.—K.Mazur

“This finely crafted, both exquisitely simple and profound piece holds an important place in our history. Uniquely gratifying to perform for those of us who witnessed the horror of September 11th, 2001 from our living room windows, and invaluable to those who live after us to help explain the inexplicable feelings of that unbearable time.” ⁠—⁠Bebe Neuwirth
