June 6-8, the Marion Cultural and Civic Center will host a new, original musical written by southern Illinoisans, Hank and Deanna Deiters and directed by Tim Robinson entitled Standard Issue.

The plot centers on a man who finds himself unexpectedly enlisted in the Army to fulfill the conditions of his late father’s will.

Last week, WSIU's Brad Palmer had the opportunity to visit with Hank and Deanna about their show.

Their musical, Standard Issue, will be performed at the Marion Cultural and Civic Center this Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

As a news producer and news anchor on All Things Considered, Brad provides the listeners with a recap of the day's top local and state news as well as breaking news at any given time. Contact WSIU Radio at 618-453-6101 or email wsiunews@wsiu.org
