“Scrap Heap” Artist Laureate Tour with Kevin McClatchy

Based on a true story, “Scrap Heap” is a turbulent, darkly funny whiplash tour that examines the costs of war and explores the reality of what we ask of service members as well as society’s responsibility in the transition from service to civilian. This event is a 55-minute screening of the one-man show.

Kevin McClatchy wears an olive shirt and camouflage patterned pants and kneels with his hands behind his head in a dark space. He isn't wearing a shirt and has camoflage pants on. There are marks and colors on his face and torso and his hair is dyed bright red.
