"The War Room," by local playwright Darryl Schneider, is playing in Buffalo at the Road Less Traveled Theater, 635 Main Street, Buffalo, NY 14201 from October 27 through November 19. 

From the play's description, "'Bringing the war home' takes on new meaning for a devastated family in the world premiere of Darryl Schneider’s 'The War Room.'  Vietnam vet Carl Schiller remains at attention, even now. He patrols the bedroom of his eldest son, Billy – Killed In Action in Iraq – restlessly searching for the truth behind Billy’s death. Outside the Schiller home, the world seems to have already moved on; inside, the war rages on, and Carl’s quest threatens to destroy his entire family."

This drama "walks the fine line between 'pro-soldier' and 'anti-war' while seeking to address questions that are as troubling today as they were forty years ago."  It is directed by Scott Behrend.

The phone number of the theater is 716-629-3069.  For more information see http://www.roadlesstraveledproductions.org/season_5/war_main.asp.
