Join The Community Library for a reading of a play-in-progress with actor and writer Neil Brookshire.
Inspired by research for an acting part, Neil contacted long time friend, Colin, to discuss his military experiences, and the challenges and differences of before and after war. Further conversations led to the development a one-person play based on many of Colin’s stories from his time as a medic in the Army, exploring how a “new normal” takes hold of the lives of those in combat, and by extension, everyone around them.
Neil Brookshire is an actor, visual artist, and filmmaker. Most recently, he played Mr. Darcy in Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley with Company of Fools. He is also the founder of Dirt Hills Productions, which produces short films and audio material. He has a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from Boise State University and an MFA in Acting from Northern Illinois University. He lives in Wisconsin.
