THE WAR BOYS opens Saturday night!
"THE WAR BOYS examines how America is unique in its brutality towards the 'other' and how xenophobia and racism is woven in the very fiber of our country. Playwright Naomi Wallace makes it clear that the boys in this play are not blameless, but neither is the system that created them. Also, neither is the audience. THE WAR BOYS is a call to action. It asks us to do something in the face of oppression and injustice. It puts it on us to fix the broken system." - THE WAR BOYS Director Matt Ripa
The War Boys runs August 9-31 at Joe's Movement Emporium
PERFORMANCES: Friday-Sunday | Friday & Saturday @ 8PM | Saturdays @ 2:30PM | Sundays @ 4:00PM
