Byline: Ernie Pyle - Reports from the Front in World War II.  Please join us for a one-man, one-hour show created by Steve Larocque to showcase the excerpts from the wartime columns of Ernie Pyle.  The script consists entirely of excerpts from Pyle's reports from the front, used with permission of the Scripps-Howard Foundation.One of the first "embedded" reporters, Ernie Pyle wrote a column that ran daily in Scripps-Howard newspapers during World War II.  Byline: Ernie Pyle features actor Steve Larocque as Ernie Pyle, recounting the major events of World War II in Pyle's own words.  The actor becomes the reporter, appalled at the tragic waste of war and the brutal conditions it imposes on the men who fight it, yet personally committed to going back to it, again and again.Ernie Pyle went to war with sailors and aviators, antiaircraft gunners and mule packers, medical teams and combat engineers, and, above all, his beloved infantry, "the underdogs ... without whom wars cannot be won."  Pyle covered the London Blitz, the North African campaign, the invasion of Sicily, bitter mountain fighting in Italy, the Normandy invasion, and the glorious liberation of Paris.  His now-famous columns chronicled the day-to-day stories of American citizens who became warriors at a time of urgent need, and their triumphs and sacrifices that ultimately won the war.Please register today as seats are limited!
