Vietnam 101: The War on Campus
by Rich Orloff
Synopsis
Vietnam 101: The War on Campus is a documentary theater piece about one college community's journey during the Vietnam War years.
Based on recollections of over one hundred students at Oberlin College in Ohio, the play recreates a time when people were asking the same questions that are being asked today about our government and our responsibilities.
Combining monologues with Story Theater-type scenes, the play covers the years 1964 to 1970, from Lyndon Johnson's promise not to expand the war (and early, well-behaved protests) to Kent State (when the entire campus shut down), and finally an epilogue from the present.
