SUMMARY:Theater of War
DESCRIPTION:
 Outside the Wire, LLC, a social impact company, 
 will present Michigan State University-sponsored 
 performances of Theater of War \n
 \n
 Theater 
 of War presents readings of Sophocles' Ajax 
 and Philoctetes to military and civilian communities 
 across the United States, Europe and 
 Japan. These ancient plays timelessly and 
 universally depict the psychological and physical 
 wounds inflicted upon warriors by war. By 
 presenting these plays to military and civilian 
 audiences, the hope is to de-stigmatize 
 psychological injury, increase awareness of post-deployment 
 psychological health issues, disseminate 
 information regarding available resources, 
 and foster greater family, community, 
 and troop resilience. \n
 \n
 Each performance 
 is approximately 2 hours long. The readings from 
 the plays are followed by discussion with 
 panelists from the local civilian and military 
 communities, and a facilitated town-hall style 
 audience discussion. The performances, translated, 
 directed and facilitated by Bryan 
 Doerries and produced by Phyllis Kaufman, will 
 feature acclaimed stage and film actors.\n
