Many thanks all who came out on a lovely, summery Friday to listen, learn and share at tonight's production. You helped make the evening a success, and gave us a boost in continuing our work in the fall.

We hear about the war in Iraq every day, as radio, newspaper and TV reports bring us the words of world leaders and military officials. Who said what, and when? What did it mean then, and what does it mean now? How did things change along the way, to get us to where we are now? What is the real story of the war in Iraq?

“'What I Heard About Iraq' is devastating, dazzling, almost overwhelming! Theater at its most meaningful, this piece is an antidote to the cowardice of the mainstream media and a gift to the American people. In the capable hands of Mary McDonald-Lewis and Readers Theatre Repertory, Portland audiences will do more than ‘hear about Iraq,’ they’ll be moved to do something about it."
