- WNR: The War on Stage
- From
- War News Radio
As the media continues to dominate national conversation, some people have responded to the Iraq War through artistic expression. For three years, the Nonsense Company, an independent theater group based in California, has been traveling around the country, raising questions about media and public discourse in unusual ways. War News Radio's Dani Noble traveled to Philadelphia to meet with the group and see their experimental piece.
The piece was first featured in "Center Stage" on February 20, 2009.
