Production Notes
Original CST archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20211207034408/http://carpentersquare.com/shows/show_nebraska.htm . Director Rhonda Clark recalled seeing the first production at La Jolla Playhouse in summer 1989 and believed this was the second U.S. production; that claim has not been independently established. Selected before the 1990 Gulf crisis, the play gained topical resonance during Operation Desert Shield. Additional historical assistance acknowledged from Tinker AFB Office of History (Lura Casey and James Crowder). Presented by special arrangement through William Morris Agency; rights via Dramatists Play Service.
