A powerful tribute to American women in Vietnam

Witness the truth-inspired stories of six courageous women in the Vietnam War. Their journeys unfold with raw emotional power—from enlisting, to the adrenaline-charged chaos of war, to the quiet battles they face upon returning home. Meet Martha, Leann, Sissy, Whitney, MaryJo, and Steele as they confront the heartbreak and urgency of the era. Once home in a divided America, where protests rage and support is scarce, the women wrestle with PTSD and shattered expectations. Their resilience becomes a powerful testament to strength and sisterhood. Fifty years after Vietnam, A PIECE OF MY HEART is more than a play—it’s a tribute to those who served, and a powerful reminder of the enduring costs of war.

On Thursday, February 12th, 2026, the Community Center for the Performing Arts proudly welcomes Right in the Eye: Live Movie-Concert of George Méliès' Films to the WOW Hall.

Right in the Eye is a show to experience that embarks audiences, from youngster to seniors, through a fantastic journey. Reviews said about this Five-Star-Show at the Edinburgh Fringe “A magical hour where films, light and music weave a rich tapestry. A unique experience.” Created by Jean-François Alcoléa and praised by the Great-Great-Granddaughter of legendary filmmaker and cinematographer Georges Méliès, Right in the Eye features a captivating, multi-layered score performed by three virtuoso musicians, offering an amazing emotional voyage. Using an extraordinary range of instruments—including piano, percussion, guitar, and unique oddities like the aquaphone, theremin, and even plastic take-out lids—the musicians bring new life to Méliès' films. Their mesmerizing music evokes the technical wizardry and playful creativity that defined his work.

This multimedia production, showcasing 12 films, blends live performance with stunning visuals, offering an emotional journey through early cinema. The inventiveness of the musicians and imagery mirrors Méliès’ boundless imagination, creating a unique experience where both music and film work in perfect harmony to reimagine cinema’s early years.

“It is at once inventive, elegant, and moving... right to the core. “— Festival Avignon, France
