Artist's Comments

During the summer of 2005, I served a tour in the 27th Heavy Opera Company, based in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. Our mission was Faust by Charles Gounod. I was promoted to Technical Sargeant based on my engineering studies, but was wounded while clearing mines. I got off with only flesh wounds and a broken leg; I spent all of Act III on crutches. Before it was all over, three of my buddies were dead; at least we got Sgt. Wagner back home, so he could see his wife before he died. Valentin, our pretty-boy Marine Captain, made it through without a scratch, only to get shot by his sisters boyfriend. Perhaps all is fair in love and war, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with.

Funny thing is, the t-shirt is mine. I wore it under my Act I costume (a reddish-pink dress shirt), so that I didn't get sweat stains on it as I waltz about with a glass of beer in my hand. One of the other cast members told me that I was given a sargeant's cap, and I just made up a story to go with it.

This is the opera that I was referring to with the pipe organ. I think you'd like the Church Scene in particular.
