Actor Douglas Taurel Honors Veterans in The American Soldier

HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY , USA, April 13, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Experienced stage, film, and television actor, Douglas Taurel, performs and tours his powerful and passionate solo show THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.

Based on real stories and factual accounts from actual soldier and family member letters written from the American Revolution all the way through current day Afghanistan. It examines the internal struggles and problems that soldiers face when returning home from combat.
THE AMERICAN SOLDIER received 4 stars at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland and was Nominated for International Amnesty Award.

In a 55-minute tour de force, enhanced by an ingenious interplay of sound and lights, Taurel enters into the personas of 14 veterans and their family members, telling their story of courage and sacrifice. THE AMERICAN SOLDIER exposes their flaws, and their scars, with both darkness and humor. THE AMERICAN SOLDIER is not simply a play, but a journey through the American story, moments that resound with lasting meaning for both audiences old enough to remember, and those young enough to yearn for inspiration.

Taurel explained, "This is a true work of passion and I deeply hope that audiences will go away with a deeper appreciation of the tremendous sacrifice our servicemen and servicewomen, and their families, have made for our country.”
