Lumina Theatre’s A FEW GOOD MEN at Howard County Arts Council Is More Than A Few Good ActorsIt may be that the only thing you know about A FEW GOOD MEN is the line, “You can’t handle the truth!” to which I say, Yeah, me too. Military, Tom Cruise, but that’s about it. The show A FEW GOOD MEN is both courtroom drama and military drama.
