Photo Flash: First Look at Charlayne Woodard, Chris Myers & More in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' WAR at LCT3

Austin Durant, Reggie Gowland, Chris Myers,Rachel Nicks, Michele Shay, Lance Coadie Williams, and Charlayne Woodard star in the LCT3/Lincoln Center Theater production of WAR by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz. WAR is now in previews, and officially opens on Monday, June 6, running for six weeks only through Sunday, July 3 at the Claire Tow Theater. Check out a first look below!

In WAR, tensions escalate between Tate (to be played by Chris Myers) and Joanne (to be played by Rachel Nicks) after their mother (to be played by Charlayne Woodard) has a stroke. As they attack each other in their mother's hospital room, they are ambushed by two strangers who make a shocking claim about their grandfather during WWII. With bold theatricality and disarming humor, WAR follows a fractured family as its members navigate the landmines of the past and try to broker peace with each other - and themselves - in the present.

WAR will have sets by Mimi Lien, costumes by Montana Blanco, lighting by Matt Frey, and sound by Bray Poor.
