Theater of War is an innovative public health project that presents readings of ancient Greek plays, Sophocles' Ajax and Philoctetes, as a catalyst for town hall discussions about the challenges faced by service members, veterans, their families, caregivers and communities. The readings from the plays are followed by comments from a panel that features a diverse group of military community members, as well as a town-hall style audience discussion. Each performance is approximately 2 hours long.
