Theatre, as an art form mirrors life. In
Conflict is a compelling portrait of Iraq War veterans in
one of the most controversial conflicts in modern American history.
Based on Yvonne Latty's acclaimed 2006 book of the same name, In Conflict captures the unheard voices and
unpredictable experiences of 17 Iraq War veterans whose lives have
been changed forever. Featuring men and women from all branches and
ranks, Republican and Democrat, straight and gay, immigrants and
natives, hailing from all parts of the country, these remarkable
veterans represent America and its complexity.
In Conflict answers the question
so often asked of soldiers when they return home: What happened?
What is the nature of patriotism and service in today's America?
With an all volunteer army fighting a bewildering conflict (with
doubts about the necessity and mission of this particular war), why
is the re-assimilation process as brutal as it is? Why are these
young soldiers essentially disenfranchised from the political
process of war? And who is - or should be - held accountable? Their
honest answers and unbelievable accounts will change the way we
think about war.

our view obligation – to shine a light on social, moral, human
rights and ethical issues. Culture Project's mission is to bear
witness to injustice, and to utilize artistic resources to
stimulate challenging conversation about the most profound and
urgent matters of our time. Culture Project has premiered
celebrated shows including The Exonerated, Sarah Jones' Bridge

Tings Dey Happen, the Lucille Lortel Award-winning World Premiere
