Live from the Front

Nov. 5, 2022

The Bay Theatre in Suttons Bay presents a special performance honoring veterans on Friday, Nov. 11. Live from the Front—Byline: Ernie Pyle is a one-man show written and acted by Rick Plummer that delves into the life of Ernie Pyle, a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist who reported from the front lines during World War II. Pyle was known for sharing the voice of the common soldier, bringing a human element to the horrors of the war. As Kari Karr, a Bay Theatre volunteer says, “As the memory of WWII fades with time, it is vital to never lose sight of the profound influence the war had on the lives of all Americans.” Plummer, who hails from Ludington, has performed the play on stages across the country, and he’ll appear twice at the Bay Theatre for a matinee (1:30pm) and evening (7pm) show. General admission tickets are $10, $5 for veterans, and free for veterans of WWII. Learn more by visiting thebaytheatre.com.
