Ant Wars

“Ant Wars” follows a suburban father who discovers ants in his kitchen and declares war.

What begins as a minor household nuisance quickly escalates into a full-scale campaign, complete with traps, maps, late-night surveillance, and military strategy.

But the ants are only part of the story. For this combat veteran struggling to adjust to the quiet rhythms of civilian life, the infestation becomes a mission he cannot abandon.

Following the reading, the audience is invited to remain for a moderated conversation designed to provide constructive feedback to the playwright.
Your observations, questions, and impressions become an important part of the play’s development and help shape its next draft.
