In Residence: September 3- 9, 2012

We Were There is a documentary theatre play about three Iraq War veterans. They all have vastly differing experiences and opinions on the conflict. Chris thinks the war was a “dumb idea” in terms of politics, but fell in love with “the soldier lifestyle” and remains in Baghdad as a defense contractor to this day. Sameer felt a call of duty after 9/11 and believes the conflict was a force for good in the world. Ryan went from being a nerdy kid who wore a “Not My President” t-shirt to operating Army drones in Bush’s army.
