Letters Home: A Veteran's Day Project - Westport Country Playhouse - November 11 at 7pm!
Letters Home: A Veteran's Day Project is
set for Veteran's Day, Wednesday, November
11 at 7pm!
Westport Country Playhouse presents Letters
Home, a dramatic production of actual letters
written by U.S. troops serving in the Middle
East, hosted by award-winning actor Brian
Dennehy.
Letters Home gives audiences a powerful portrait of servicemembers' experiences
in the ongoing war, without politicizing, and gives voice to the people who are
still fighting and dying far away from home.
The production is inspired by the New York Times Op-Ed article, "The Things They
Wrote," and the subsequent HBO documentary, "Last Letters Home".
Additionally, the production uses letters and correspondences from Frank Schaeffer's
books, Voices from the Front, Letters Home from America's Military Family, Faith of
Our Sons and Keeping Faith.
Produced by the Griffin Theatre Company of Chicago, the initial production last winter
was critically acclaimed and nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for "Outstanding
New Play."
