OSHER 125 - Vietnam... Through My Lens by Stu Richel - Preview with Chris Waangsgard & Lynn Ward + Matinee Perfo

Sometimes poignant, sometimes lighthearted, always thought provoking, this one-man play follows Stu Richel's journey as a combat journalist and photographer to, through, and beyond his military service in Vietnam. Stu proudly served in the U.S. Army from January 1968 to January 1970. Through much of 1969, he was a combat photographer/journalist with the 1st Infantry Division in Vietnam; it is that service which provided the impetus for this solo stage performance. Share the odd path by which Stu ended up in Vietnam, some of his misadventures as a journalist and photographer, and (perhaps most importantly) learn how the experience has colored his life. Prior to the matinee, Osher Instructor Chris Wangsgard and Lynn Ward will present a 40 minute preview at Kingsbury Hall with light refreshments and coffee. This event is held in partnership with the University of Utah Veterans Support Center.
