The 2015 U.S. Army Soldier Show is coming to Enterprise High

School Performing Arts Center on August 20 and 21!

Showtime is 7–8:30 pm each day.

 

 

It’s Army entertainment like you’ve never experienced before. The Soldier Show is a live Broadway-style variety performance featuring our best talent. It’s singing, it’s dancing, and it’s amazing. This year’s production, “We Serve” explores the foundational elements of what it means to serve, in and out of uniform, as well as how our country in return serves them. The 2015 U.S. Army Soldier Show honors our Army’s continued service, resilience, and strength with its mission to effectively inform, educate, and inspire our audiences into action. It celebrates this great Nation, our Army, and the Families and communities that serve and support our service members in return. We are honored to share this experience of service with you, and are confident that the performance of “We Serve” will leave behind a positive and uplifting reminder of what makes our Soldiers and our Army Family ‘Army Strong.’ This year’s show is proudly sponsored by GM Military Discount and CHASE. Admission is free. No tickets required. Doors open 1 hour prior show. Seating is first-come, first-served. For more information, contact Family & MWR at (334) 255-9810.

The U.S. Army Soldier Show is coming to Enterprise!

The US Army Soldier Show makes a tour stop on August 12 & 13 at 7 pm each night at the Enterprise High School Performing Arts Center for their show “Stand Strong”. The Soldier Show performs across the country, entertaining Soldiers, Families, Retirees and Civilians with its all Soldier cast. Be sure to mark your calendars for your chance to see this high energy, musical performance. Open to the Public. Free admission, no ticket required. For more information, check out www.ftruckermwr.com. 

The Soldier Show is a totally self-contained touring operation where the cast and crew travel to a select Army garrison location, load-in and set-up for the show and then entertain all comers, both Soldier and Civilian. After the show, the same cast and crew have the responsibility to break-down and load-out for the next show. 

This crew was selected not only for their ability to perform solo, but also their ability to entertain with musical instruments, work in ensemble dance numbers and inspire an audience from the stage. 

This year's production, "Stand Strong" explores the foundational elements of what it is that instills the strength and character of our Soldiers and our Army, according to Tim Higdon, U.S. Army Entertainment producer and program Manager. As in the past, the cast and crew are selected to exemplify the Army values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage. 

"The 2014 show will also honor the Army's continued resilience and strength with its mission to effectively inform, educate and inspire our audiences to action," said Higdon. 

Army Entertainment is the official agency for producing and delivering diverse musical, unit entertainment activities, special events, touring shows, talent competitions and theater entertainment to Soldiers, Families, Civilians and Retirees at home and abroad. All entertainment operations are headquartered at Fort Sam Houston Theatre, including the Soldier Show as well as Operation Rising Star and the Army Concert Series.

Meet our Fort Rucker MWR Family

Our Army Civilians make tremendous contributions for our Soldiers, their Families, and to our Country. Have you ever wondered who's behind the scenes at Fort Rucker MWR? We have an amazing team of Army Civilians that contribute greatly to keeping our installation Above the Best. Today, meet our Marketing Department:

Nikki works in our Marketing Office as our Graphic Designer. A native Californian, Nikki has been with us for a little over seven years. She loves movies, but has to say that Hackers (1995) is her all time favorite movie. HACK THE PLANET! She could watch that movie every day and not get sick of it. She has a deep love for every genre of music, but this week you can catch Betty Who, Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros and Tom Odell blaring on her iPod. Her caffeinated beverage of choice at work is coffee and at home, Red Rose Tea with milk and honey. When she’s not creating awesome designs at work, she enjoys relaxing, putting together puzzles, watching movies and listening to music in her free time.

Janice has been with Fort Rucker MWR for 8 years, and works in our Marketing Office as our MWR Marketing Director. Having lived all over the world, this Tennessee native is happy to now call Enterprise her home. At work, she prefers Coffee Zone's Starbucks Mocha Latte to jump start her day, but you can usually catch her drinking an ice cold Dr. Pepper in the afternoon. Gone with the Wind and The Sound of Music are her all time favorite movies, and you can bet her Pandora app is locked on Lady Antebellum Radio. An interesting tidbit about Janice is that she never misses an opportunity to see what she can find on the Longest Yard Sale in August. Another interesting tidbit is, if you catch an MWR commercial on YouTube or TV, the voice behind the video is usually her husband, John, a local radio personality.

Kristen works in our Marketing Office as our Web/Social Media Marketing Assistant. As the daughter of an Army Apache pilot, Kristen is a proud Army Brat and has been giving back to the Army community with Fort Rucker MWR since October 2013. She loves 80’s comedies, and can quote them perfectly. She is a naturally gifted comedian and we guarantee she can make anyone laugh. People often ask her if something is wrong when they see her drinking anything other than a Coca-Cola-Classic. On her iPod you can usually hear the sounds of Fleet Foxes, Shovels & Rope, Mumford & Sons, and the Alabama Shakes. Away from work, she enjoys traveling, family time, hanging with her pups, and never missing an episode of Wheel of Fortune.

Check back as we spotlight Army Civilians in the Fort Rucker MWR family.
