Good Men Wanted

Set during the American Civil War, Good Men Wanted is based on hundreds of true stories, says playwright Kevin Armento. Five women leave their identities and the safety of their feminine domain behind to join the war efforts--as men. It is a tale of warriors, woven from the lives of women, divided from their true selves as mothers, wives, sisters, and lovers, to become men-to become soldiers. This is not a tale of North vs. South, but a tale of gender divided. Directed by Carrie Yanagawa and starring several of Anchorage's best actors, Good Men Wanted will be the TossPots' second fully staged production. Cyrano's. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 7 p.m.; Sundays 3p.m. cyranos.org

But the bruises heal and the hearts...
