Antiwar art is often preaching to the converted in progressive Portland, Ore., but Sojourn Theatre's current "The War Project: 9 Acts of Determination," says writer Johanna Droubay, is "Preaching to a Bigger Choir." As reported on CAN, Sojourn is known for bringing all opinions to the table. "Their project began," Droubay says on Willamette Week (3/15/06), "with a question: How, as a nation, do we decide what to kill and die for?" For over a year, the company interviewed soldiers back from Iraq, antiwar activists and big-city politicians. Then they explored that raw material in six weeklong public workshops." In the finished production Sojourn was able to "present multiple sides of the war debate with equal credibility, a rarely accomplished feat in local politically minded theater."
