A profound event that connects closer to veterans who may be struggling with life at home is coming to Roosevelt Island on Wednesday evening.
Jesse Eisenberg, Amy Ryan, Bill Camp and Ato-Blankson-Wood are just some of the lineup slated to read the intense script in front of more than 400 veterans – who have served as early as the Korean War – in addition Blue Star families and the Special Forces Association among fellow kin to the military members.
“After 30 years in the military, I am aware that emotions often wind up like rocks in a rucksack. Eventually, your knees will buckle if you do not let it out,” Jany said. “We’re only now, in the 21st century, rediscovering what the Greeks knew 2,500 years ago — which is that real healing takes place in groups and real healing takes place in the public,” the director, whoDoerries said that he has witnessed firsthand the powerful impacts and uncanny connections that the audience makes after a Theater of War reading.

The Samples & Freddy Jones BandThe Samples & Freddy Jones Band at Oriental Theater: Built as a movie theater in 1927, the Oriental Theater showed films daily for decades, but it hit a rough patch in the ’50s, during the flight to the suburbs. In an effort to boost attendance in the ’60s, the theater was updated with plush seating, new carpeting, fresh paint and a bigger projection screen. That screen soon went dark, however, and over the next few decades, the Oriental slid into disrepair. Although a few attempts were made to revitalize the space in the ’90s, none of the owners had the vision or staying power to capitalize on the theater's substantial assets. But in 2005, new owners took over the venue and gave it an overdue facelift, later installing professional sound and lighting systems. These days, the Oriental brings in a diverse stream of local and national entertainment.
