Rambo: The Missing Years. The hilarious story of the Private who protested the Viet Nam War – while still in the Army! With Howard Petrick. Directed by Mark Kenward and developed with David Ford.

The Marsh Berkeley, 2120 Allston Way, near Shattuck. http://www.themarsh.org or 415-282-3055.A twenty-year-old anti-war activist in 1966 when he was drafted into the Army, Pvt. Petrick was a model soldier except when the subject of Vietnam came up. At that point, he missed no opportunity to make his opinions known to his fellow GIs and anyone else who would listen. His activities helped ignite an antiwar movement in the barracks and led to a confrontation with the brass. Calls from the Pentagon! Threats of treason! By the time it was all over, Petrick, who never backed down, had become something of a celebrity. He even had a song written about him and was the subject of an article in the New York Times. From the ass-scratching first cook to the frustrated Military Intelligence officer, Petrick brings over twenty characters to life in this autobiographical solo piece.
