Three-Play Series Features ‘Women And War’

Raleigh Little Theatre’s “Women And War” series aims to bring audiences into the minds and experiences of women in the military community. From Vietnam-era nurses who volunteered with the Red Cross, to modern-day spouses dealing with repeated deployments and a fighter pilot who finds herself grounded by a pregnancy, the plays highlight narratives of war that often go unheard.

Host Frank Stasio previews a three-play series featuring ‘Women And War’ with Raleigh Little Theatre’s artistic director Patrick Torres, director Mia Self, and actors Emily James,Jean Jamison and Michelle Wells.
