The Bonus Army

In the dark early days of the Great Depression, in the spring and early summer of 1932, tens of thousands of unemployed World War I veterans and their supporters marched on Washington, D.C. They demanded that Congress, which had voted the war veterans a cash bonus to be paid in 1945, redeem their bonus certificates immediately, when they desperately needed the money. They called themselves the Bonus Expeditionary Force, but were known as the Bonus Marchers or the Bonus Army.

The Bonus Army is a musical written by David Epstein, with music and lyrics by Al Carmines that was first performed by the acclaimed Judson Poets' Theater in 1976. This revival is directed by Russell Treyz and will run September 6-19 at THE GYM AT JUDSON.
