Tennant once again hits it out of the park with another historical, one-act. The family feels real and lived-in while the tension continues to build as each birthday is read off on the television until we reach our heartbreaking conclusion.

Unrelenting tension. The strain is real, natural, and rough from the start. But Alaina Tennant doesn't let up; even when audiences encounter a surprising turn that feels like it should address the conflict, nope, Tennant turns again to break the characters' and the audience's heart.

“Live on National Television” by ALAINA TENNANT is a period in our Nation’s history in which we were in a war with Vietnam and questioning our own sense of what’s necessary and wanted. I was twenty-five years old and eligible for the draft. I was supportive of the notion we were “fighting to defend our Country’s freedom”. I clearly remember the anticipation and anxiety, similar to what is depicted. This play needs to be performed, because history has a way of repeating itself if unchecked.
