From Lincoln, Nebraska to Dachau, Sgt. Clarence Williams’ story is one of courage, witness, and enduring legacy. Written by acclaimed playwright Becky Boesen, Not Too Far Distant was commissioned by History Nebraska and sold out during the Lied Center’s 2023–2024 season.
This powerful, true story follows Williams’ bravery in liberating Dachau, capturing the humanity and resilience that make his journey unforgettable. Rooted in Nebraska yet universal in its impact, the play combines bold storytelling, historical insight, and emotional depth.
Now, for the first time, this Nebraska-born story is going national, touring the country in 2026–2027.
Experience the courage, witness the history, and see why audiences call it “moving, riveting, and impossible to forget.”
