War Bonds: Songs and Letters of World War II is a musical journey through the war that redefined the world featuring songs, drama, dance and multi-media images. The living history cabaret is interspersed with personal letters from the war front and headline news from the era. It recalls a time when Rosie the Riveter discovered she could take care of herself; when African-Americans, who were segregated at home, integrated abroad to become war heroes; and when a man’s only wish was to be home for Christmas.
