Voices From Vietnam Live On Stage

Emporia High School’s gripping new play “A Piece of My Heart” brings to life the untold stories of six Vietnamese War-era women, blending theater with history in a moving tribute. Guided by veteran Frank Lowery’s personal uniforms and memories, students honor the past with emotional authenticity, as director Amanda Ballard and actress Maggie Anderson stress the human toll beyond combat. The performance moved Lowery to tears, unlocking memories even therapy couldn’t reach—and now, as one of just twelve schools nationwide selected for the International Thespian Festival, this powerful production will echo across the country, with Lowery in attendance to witness its impact.
