About this Item

Title

  • 'War Words' Live

Summary

  • A live performance of "War Words," a production drawn from the funny, strange, heroic and heartbreaking stories of those we sent to Iraq and Afghanistan, those we brought home and those we left behind. Based on the playwright Michelle Kholos Brooks' interviews with veterans of the 20-year "long war" and their families, "War Words" aims to create a bridge between those who serve and the great majority of us who thank them for their service without truly understanding what that means.
