Actors from Broadway and television are performing in Washington as part of a theater project to help returning soldiers discuss the psychological effects of war and combat.

Isiah Whitlock from "The Wire," Tamara Tunie of "Law and Order: SVU" and Broadway performers Francoise Battiste and Bill Camp are joining the "Theater of War" project Monday and Tuesday.

The program from the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs presents readings of ancient Greek plays to help spur discussions on the challenges faced by combat veterans.

The group performs Monday at an Arlington, Virginia Marine Corps facility. On Tuesday, they will perform at a veterans suicide prevention conference and at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

The performances are open to military members and their families.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
