WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
99.5% of all Americans will not serve in Iraq or Afghanistan. The divide between soldier and civilian has never been greater in American history.
This is your invitation to get some first-hand experience. Don't pass it up.

If you have an aversion to interactive theater, then International WOW's latest, Surrender, is probably not the show for you. However, if you give yourself over to this simulated war experience, currently ensconced at the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center, it can be dynamic, educational, and moving.
Writer-director Josh Fox has teamed up with Iraq War veteran and author Jason Christopher Hartley to create a unique environmental theater piece that takes the audience on a journey from basic training to deployment to a bittersweet homecoming.
