This very special evening of theater was the culmination of a month long writing for performance workshop and found the humor, the sadness, the silly, the historical, and the powerfully complex layers of what war is and what wars women wage.
Complimentary dinner (chicken & andouille gumbo, vegan gumbo z'herbes, salad and dessert) was served, followed by performance. Admission was by donation, which benefitted local women's organizations.
This production was made possible in part by a grant from the 2007 Theater Arts Fund.
