Fayetteville, NC
In 1971, activist actors Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland spearheaded the FTA Show (“FTA” was not short for “Free the Army,” as they consistently joke), an antiwar comedy revue which toured the Pacific. The shows were performed for the sizable, though often ignored, contingent of US soldiers who opposed the War in Vietnam. They were held near military bases without any official sanction from the US Army or Navy.
