Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret is a gripping live stage production written by Ret. Green Beret Lt. Col. Scott Mann and performed by combat veterans and military family members. Through the eyes of Danny Patton, a Green Beret caught between this life and the next, Last Out takes you on a powerful journey through the warrior’s experience – from the battlefield to the homefront. Raw, emotional, and deeply human, this is not just a play – it’s a mission to heal, connect, and remember.
