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.

The hall was filled with murmers of assent, laughter, tears and myriad other emotions experienced by the more than 140 people who attended the performance. Nearly 100 people stayed for the moderated talkback, in which local leaders and activists, both those on our panel of speakers and those in the audience, shared reactions to the play and responses to the question "what can I do about the war?"

We were touched by the response to the show. Thanks to all who came together - sponsors, volunteers, attendees - to be part of the conversation.
