Theater of War Event


....“Theater of War presents readings of Sophocles' Ajax to communities across the United States. These ancient plays timelessly and universally depict the psychological and physical wounds inflicted upon warriors by war. By presenting these plays, our hope is to de-stigmatize psychological injury and open a safe space for dialogue about the challenges faced by service members, veterans, and their caregivers and families.” ….

….  “Theater of War is an innovative, participatory event, which is intended to increase awareness of post-deployment psychological health issues, disseminate information regarding available resources, and foster greater family and troop resilience. Each reading is followed by a panel discussion featuring a diverse group of community participants, as well as a town hall-style audience discussion.”….
