How a Subway Killing Divided America Theater of War Productions Live from WNYC

Please join us in person on February 5, from 8pm to 9:15pm, at WNYC for the live recording and launch of Theater of War Productions’ new long-form journalism series. Our first installment will feature acclaimed actors performing a dramatic reading of a recent article in The New Yorker to help frame a guided audience discussion about public safety and mental health, grounded in the perspectives of subway riders, MTA employees, police officers, mental health professionals, veterans, and first responders. The event will be recorded with a live studio audience and broadcast the following week on WNYC.

Featuring performances by Amy Ryan (Only Murders in the Building, The Office), Chad Coleman (The Walking Dead, The Wire), Arliss Howard (Full Metal Jacket, The Lost World: Jurassic Park), and David Strathairn (Nomadland, Good Night, and Good Luck.).

Co-presented by Theater of War Productions and WNYC, with special thanks to The New Yorker.

Supported by a generous grant from the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund.

Directed and facilitated by Bryan Doerries.

Seating is limited. Registration does not guarantee a seat. More details about radio broadcast dates and times to follow soon.
