Necessary Targets
Stephens College presents “Necessary Targets” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday at Warehouse Theatre, 104 Willis Ave.
In this play, two American women, a Park Avenue psychiatrist and an ambitious young writer, travel to Bosnia to help women refugees confront their memories of war. Though the two have little in common beyond the methods they use to distance themselves from their subjects, they emerge deeply changed as they confront their own fears in the face of violence, resiliency and war. Based on interviews conducted by Eve Ensler with numerous women who survived the civil war in the former Yugoslavia, this show is a timely reminder of how America struggles to define its relationship with the rest of the world. USA Today says due to “Ensler’s straightforward intensity and delicate comic relief,” this show is “absorbing and moving.”
Tickets are $8 general admission, $6 for students and seniors. Call 876-7199 or visit stephens.edu/performingarts.
