Theater of War - On the Radio
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!

Racialized Police ViolenceAntigone in FergusonAntigone in Ferguson is a groundbreaking project that fuses dramatic readings by acclaimed actors of Sophocles’ Antigone with live choral music performed by a diverse choir, including activists, youth, teachers, police officers, and concerned citizens from St. Louis, Missouri and New York City, culminating in powerful, healing discussions about racialized violence, police brutality, systemic oppression, gender-based violence, health inequality, and social justice. Antigone in Ferguson was conceived in the wake of Michael Brown’s death in 2014, through a collaboration between Theater of War Productions and community members from Ferguson, MO, and premiered at Normandy High School, Michael Brown’s alma mater, in September of 2016.
