Four female panelists come together to debate whether women should disregard and leave religion behind, or continue to practice their spiritual practices. The play cracks open intersectionality to analyze the ways in which organized religion supports, or breaks down women's freedoms and rights. In conversations of religion and feminism, is it possible to live in a world where we as humans can respect each other's beliefs rather than try to win some sort of religious war?

" Description Back home in Philadelphia, Elliot Ortiz, a nineteen-year-old Marine, contemplates his return to Iraq for a second tour of duty after being seriously wounded. In this simple, poignant and achingly evocative play” (TimeOut New York), three Ortiz family members recount years of service to their country in wars in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq, and the effects their service has had on the individual, the family and the community they live in. Melding a poetic dreamscape with a stream-of-consciousness narrative, Elliot, A Soldier's Fugue takes us on an unforgettable journey across time and generations." - from the publisher
