"Roar of the Tiger: The Legend of Tokyo Rose" by Glenn Conner-Johnson

With a story far more complex than that conveyed by the headlines, Iva Toguri D'Aguino (1916-2006) was maligned and imprisoned only to be exonerated and pardoned later in life. In a new play written by Glenn Conner-Johnson, acclaimed actress, Momo Yashima, portrays the erroneously identified "Tokyo Rose" whose actions still resonate in this time of "unlawful enemy combatants" and heated debates about habeas corpus. Free with National Museum admission. Reservations suggested.
