"(Greensboro, NC) — Triad Stage is kicking off its 16th season of producing professional theater on a lighter note, by asking the question “is all fair in love and war?” Somewhere far from anywhere, a young woman obsessed with romance novels longs for adventure, while just outside of town her fiancé is the hero of a raging war. But when the battle crashes through her bedroom window in the form of a retreating enemy soldier taking refuge under her bed, everything heroic gets turned upside down. In no time at all, her boudoir becomes a battlefield for two rival suitors. Arms and the Man runs Sept. 11 – Oct. 2, 2016. Opening Night is Fri., Sept. 16.
