Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried at History Theatre

Based on the quintessential book about the Vietnam experience, The Things They Carried is the powerful telling of Tim O’Brien’s personal journey from his innocent years in a small town in western Minnesota, to the jungles of Vietnam as a young American soldier, and back again. This award-winning book is adapted for stage by Jim Stowell, one of Minnesota’s finest storytellers and a fellow veteran, and performed as a one-man show by Steven D’Ambrose. It is a powerful, clever, and provocative story of loss and redemption.
