11 Days: The Story of Operation Pineapple Express

11 Days: The Story of Operation Pineapple Express is a powerful, one-man theatrical experience that brings audiences inside the final days of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Written and performed by retired Green Beret Scott Mann, this true story follows ordinary veterans racing against time to rescue Afghan allies left behind—an extraordinary mission born out of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering loyalty. More than a war story, 11 Days confronts the hidden battle many veterans face after service, shining a light on moral injury, mental health, and the long road to healing.

Produced by Task Force Pineapple, a veteran-led nonprofit, the performance uses live storytelling to foster understanding, spark conversation, and bridge the gap between veterans and civilians. A licensed mental-health professional will be on site to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all attendees.

This is not just a play—it’s a call to listen, to care, and to recognize that healing begins when stories are shared.

Recommended for mature audiences due to intense themes and emotional content.
