Club member pens play about Apollo 11's lunar landing

Club member Richard Zmuda, a high school English teacher in Annapolis, has written "Apollo 11 -- Original Adaptation for the Stage," a play about Apollo 11's lunar landing.

The play is intended for high school and college productions, Zmuda said.

“There’s an entire younger generation out there that knows very little about Apollo 11, not to mention the incredible challenges that had to be overcome on that historic mission,” Zmuda said.

To write the adaptation, Zmuda sifted through thousands of pages of NASA's lunar transcripts and background materials. The play focuses on the moments when the lunar module, Eagle, separated from Apollo and made its harrowing descent to the lunar surface.

The script is available on Amazon.com.
