NewYorkRep, in association with New Light Theater Project, presents War Words, a world premiere production of a new docu-play by Michelle Kholos Brooks (H*tler’s Tasters). The limited engagement, directed by NewYorkRep Artistic Director Sarah Norris (H*tler’s Tasters, Everything is Super Great), is now playing Off-Broadway at A.R.T./New York (502 W. 53rd Street) through Dec. 17 opening November 14 at 7PM.
War Words is a docu-play in the words of the men and women who served in the U.S. Military during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Based on the playwright’s interviews with veterans of the 20-year Long War and their families, War Words is composed of heroic and heartbreaking stories of the veterans, families, and allies of people who served: those who came home, and those who were left behind. The playwright and NewYorkRep have felt that there was always a need for civilians to better understand the motivation and sacrifice one makes to serve.
For the company of War Words, NewYorkRep assembled a company of actors comprised of United States military veterans as well as veteran New York stage and television actors.
Tickets are now on sale at OnTheStage.com.
