Surprised by her husband’s early return from a tour in Iraq, Sara is unprepared for the complications of his re-entry into civilian life. Tension simmers around their gun-obsessed teenage daughter, Sara’s oddball live-in sister Abby, and Abby’s newest infatuation – a sexy, young Marine who’s keeping a secret.

Oohrah! turns a comedic eye to a homecoming gone awry.

REVIEWS
"Three cheers for Oohrah! at Garage Rep... Oohrah! is quite a moving show, which Akin gives a rock-solid, simple, Chicago-style production, which is to say he finds actors who understand these characters, treat their problems with respect and refuse to patronize them." (3 stars) -- Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

"Timely... Perceptive..." -- Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times


Oohrah! by LiveWire Chicago is performed as part of GARAGE REP: three productions presented in rotating repertory in The Garage at Steppenwolf, from some of Chicago's most innovative, young theatre companies.
