War Bonds

War Bonds: The Songs and Letters of World War II is a musical journey through a war that redefined the world. This living history cabaret is interspersed with personal letters from the battlefield and headline news of the period.

War Bonds: The Songs and Letters of World War II explores the dark side of war and the strange juxtaposition of the light hearted, popular tunes of the time.
Actual veterans’ stories create a sentimental journey back through the days when blackouts and rationing were a small sacrifice in order to obtain freedom. A time when Rosie the riveter discovered she could take care of herself; a time when African-Americans, who were held down at home by Jim Crow, became war heroes overseas; and when a man’s only wish was to be home for Christmas.
