Claire Tow Theater
150 West 65 Street New York, NY 10023

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.
