Playhouse, Arts Center Present “Letters Home” on Vets Day

Award-winning actor Brian Dennehy will host the Westport Country Playhouse’s presentation of “Letters Home,” a dramatic production of actual letters written by U.S. troops serving in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, on Veterans Day, Wednesday.

Produced by the Griffin Theatre Company of Chicago, the initial production last winter was critically acclaimed and nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for “Outstanding New Play.”

In conjunction with “Letters Home,” the Westport Arts Center (WAC) will install an exhibition in the Playhouse lobby, “Daily Exchanges: U.S. Soldiers in Iraq - The Ordinary in Images.”

Curated by WAC’s Director of Visual Arts Terri C. Smith, with the guidance and input of artist and “Operation Enduring Freedom” veteran Paul Kaiser, “Daily Exchanges” will feature photographs and videos depicting the everyday lives of troops serving in war.
