Poster printed with yellow, red, and black ink on white paper.

Red silhouettes of a group of soldiers holding rifles appear behind the figure against an orange and yellow background. A logo for Shotgun Players appears at lower right, and text in small yellow font at right over the figure reads, "Just wait / You'll bend / In time / You'll find / The vows you make you'll break / To live / Just give / In doubt / Sell out / It's what God wants from you." The dates of August 2 to September 14th are listed at bottom along with the location of John Hinkel Park in Berkeley (no performance on 8/9; 9/13 show in Live Oak Park) and contact information for the Shotgun Players.
