Byline Ernie Pyle is a one-man show by Steve LaRocque that showcases excerpts from the wartime columns of Ernie Pyle. The script, created and performed by Steve, consists entirely of excerpts from Pyle's reports from the front where he was one of the first "embedded" reporters. Ernie Pyle wrote a column that ran daily in Scripps-Howard newspapers during World War II and recounts the major events of World War II in Pyle's own words. The actor becomes the reporter, appalled at the tragic waste of war and the brutal conditions it imposes on the men who fight it, yet personally committed to going back to it again and again
