Online staged reading
Through correspondence and monologues, in the style of reader’s theater, "Women and War" is a collection of fictional stories based on historical fact, told by generations of Americans impacted by conflict from The Great War to the War in Afghanistan. From housewife to worker, young bride to nurse, mother to widow, and now, young woman to soldier, these are tales of sacrifice, love, determination and hope told by those who bravely persevere on the home front and on the battlefield.
There will be a Q&A talkback after the performance.
