Heroine

Heroine, a solo show by Mary Jane Wells, is the true story of Danna Davis.

It takes grit to be the only woman in the entire platoon.
It takes courage to lead your squad into combat, when your assailant is within.
But it takes heroism to finally talk about it.

Danna Davis served for 10 years in the US armed forces as a Drill Sergeant, a Staff Sergeant and a Squad Leader. Her multiple deployments included helping Rwanda after the genocide and to tear down the Berlin wall. She was awarded many medals during her service, including two Purple Hearts. She was the only woman in her entire company and is also a survivor of military sexual trauma. When she led a secret mission into the Middle East, she and her assailant were two of the few survivors. Heroine is a human story about one female soldier's experiences, and what healing and forgiveness really mean.
