- Description
- The Theater of War: Soldiers & Citizens Tour presented dramatic readings of Sophocles' Ajax - an ancient Greek tragedy about the suicide of a great, respected warrior - to diverse military and civilian audiences in order to engage communities in powerful town hall discussions about the visible and invisible wounds of war. The ODU reading was performed by actors Reg E. Cathey and Marin Ireland. Cathey's credits include "The Wire," "Oz" and "House of Cards," while Ireland has appeared in "Homeland," "Mildred Pierce" and "reasons to be pretty." The presentations were intended to foster understanding and compassion, while mobilizing citizens and resources to help improve the lives of service members, veterans, their families and people in their communities. NOTABLES: 66 attendees
