Salem Smith and Thurston with Cruz have cast a wide net in their many interviews from local folks directly affected by the Iraq war, and what was chosen gives voice to experiences that we may never have heard if not for this insightful and relevant piece.

Directed by the deft hand of Christopher Windom ("Fences," "Fairview") and Michael Yussef Greene (Wilbury's "Noise"), these tales unfold seamlessly and powerfully.

This premiere is a mirror to the incredible talent at Trinity. Tanya Orellana's scenic design is complimented by imaginative lighting by Emma Deane. Each actor has you in their hands. This is the story of the human condition. Fair warning: This production packs an incredibly emotional punch.

"Someone Will Remember You" will not easily be forgotten by anyone who crosses the threshold of this theatre.

"Someone Will Remember You" is running through February 23 at Trinity Repertory Company, 201 Washington Street, Providence, RI 02903. For information or tickets, call 401-351-4242 or visit www.trinityrep.com.
