Even though the curtain will fall for “Heroes” after its 2 p.m. matinee Sunday, it will not be long until the next TAP production takes the stage.

Lifelong Friendships
Heroes, by Gérald Sibleyras and adapted by Tom Stoppard, explores friendship, aging, and escapism as it follows three WWI veterans, Gustave, Philippe, and Henri as they plan a getaway from the veterans home in France where they reside. Over several episodes on the stone terrace, their friendship is tested, highlighting their camaraderie, as they hatch a plan to escape the monotony of their lives and physical limitations.
On stage, the trials and tribulations of these characters come across as effortless and is perhaps a nod to the off-stage friendships of the actors, Alan Kopischke, Michael A. Torrey, and C. Michael Wright. While their relationships span more than twenty years, Heroes marks the first time they have all acted on stage together.
