This Thursday night at 8pm EST, we are joining forces again with WNYC to present a new, live show: Theater of War - On the Radio. Actors Julianne Moore, Sam Waterston and Daphne Rubin-Vega will be performing two pieces on the air: an article entitled “ICE’s Assault on a Minnesota School District,” written by Jessica Winter for The New Yorker, and Judge Fred Biery’s recent judicial opinion ordering the the immediate release of five-year-old Liam Ramos and his father from a detention facility in Texas. These texts will start a conversation with live call-in radio listeners about ICE and its impact on our schools and our children.
Tune in on Thursday, February 19, at 8pm EST on WNYC 93.9 FM or on WNYC.org to catch the live broadcast!

Caregiving & DeathTheater of War FrontlineTheater of War Frontline is an innovative project—developed by Theater of War Productions, the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics and the Johns Hopkins Program in Arts, Humanities & Health—that presents dramatic readings by acclaimed actors of scenes from ancient Greek plays for audiences of frontline medical professionals to open up powerful dialogue about difficult subjects, fostering a sense of connection and promoting health-seeking behavior. By presenting ancient plays to doctors, nurses, EMTs, respiratory therapists, and the frontline community about emotionally-charged, ethically complex situations, Theater of War Frontline aims to create a brave space for open, candid dialogue and reflection, fostering compassion, a renewed sense of community, and positive action.
