Two upcoming one-man shows will be presented at the Grunin Center for the Arts in Toms River well within 24 hours of each other, and both deal with serious issues.

At 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 15 “The American Soldier” will be presented on the Grunin Center’s main stage in Building 11-A. The show is free, but folks will want to register at grunincenter.org to make sure they can snag a seat.
