Notes: Owens directed a staged reading of Home Front at the Blue Slipper Theatre in Livingston, Montana, October 2006, which starred Margot Kidder as Jo Smith.
Synopsis: Darwin and Jo Smith, and their seventeen year-old son Ronnie, seem to be the typical Middle American conservative family. Darwin works as a systems analyst. Jo teaches community college. Ronnie is a high school baseball standout with big league aspirations. One night before dinner, they are paid a surprise visit from Commander Abraham Lincoln of Central Security, who claims to have information concerning their daughter Lucy, an American soldier. Lincoln claims that Lucy was captured by the enemy in a foreign war and decapitated. But, thanks to the top-secret Operation Hydra, military doctors have been able to save her life by surgically re-attaching her head. There are two problems: (1) The Smiths don't have a daughter. (2) Somebody got the wrong head.
