The night before their memorial is unveiled, Vietnam veterans from South Philly learn that retired General Westmoreland plans to visit their post. The third play in a trilogy about war and its aftermath that began with ""Ashes, Ashes"" (shortlisted for The Bridge Award) and ""A Marine Walks Up to the Pearly Gates"" (winner of The Lieutenant William Broyles Award), “Waiting for Westy” follows a group of veterans as they struggle to reconcile their feelings about the Vietnam War and its leaders.

A new play by Joshua Crone, featuring Thoeger Hansen, Richard Roddy, Lenny Ramos and Joshua Crone. Developed with the support of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8051. Inspired by true events.
