Theatre ‘d Art

From October 9 to October 25, Theatre ‘d Art presents a powerful evening of theater with “The Arte of War,” a series of three plays about war, beginning with “Seven Jewish Children” by Caryl Churchill, then onto “We Bombed in New Haven” by Joseph Heller and wrapping up with “A War Prayer” by Mark Twain.

Churchill’s “Seven Jewish Children” is “seven scenes spread over roughly seventy years, in which Jewish adults discuss what, or whether, their children should be told about certain events in recent Jewish history that the play alludes to only indirectly,” and is thought-provoking, challenging and controversial.

“We Bombed In New Haven” is written by Joseph Heller, author of the classic novel Catch-22. The hilarious play blurs the line between illusion and reality as actors playing actors playing Air Force airmen confront death, authority, and inevitability.

“The War Prayer” is written by Mark Twain, and is one of his most well-known works. As a nation mobilizes for war, a preacher asks God for victory. However, a mysterious stranger appears and reveals that which is left unspoken when we pray.

Each show is in the Osborne Studio Theater. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $5 for students with ID and FREE for UCCS students. Don’t miss this one!
