Based on Homer’s The Iliad this play explores the relationship of heroism and horror in war, from the perspective of the Poet, the solo character of the show, left to tell the stories. An Iliad is written by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare, translated by Robert Fagles and co-sponsored by the Veterans Resource Center and PSU School of Music & Theater. The play is free and open to the public but tickets are limited to first come first served, so arrive early. Please join us for a short post-show discussion about the issues explored in this play.

After the play, from 4:00-6:00 PM, there will be a creative writing workshop available for veterans, active military personnel, and military families only.

“Curiosity is at the heart of this compelling project. It explores what it looks like to create collaboratively and how to use the practice of art making to inspire social change.” – Damaris Webb, Co-Leader of “y/ours”

What is the role of a citizen artist? How do we imagine a way forward that includes all of us in a climate of division and polarization? How do we create together when there is no time left? These are questions held by a new evening-length performance devised, performed, and designed by PSU students. Guided by theater maker as social justice advocate Damaris Webb and design professor Solomon Weisbard, this cohort of creators engage the most pressing issues to their communities and shared humanity.
