Michael T. McPhearson and Madelyn Hoffman are among those who will represent area peace groups at Today night's discussion after The Theater Project's staged reading of BURY THE DEAD, Irwin Shaw's 1936 anti-war play.

The drama focuses on six soldiers killed in battle who rise up and refuse to be buried and forgotten, in spite of the pleadings of generals, their families, and society.

The dead soldiers rise up pleading to be allowed to rejoin the living. Word of their insurrection spreads rapidly. The generals, the news media, their families and their sweethearts plead with them to lie down and be buried, but these soldiers will not be so easily forgotten.
