The Ruskin Group Theatre presents “Strange Snow” — a play involving Vietnam veterans that has been updated to reflect the Iraq war — from Jan. 26 to March 4.

Performances are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. on Sundays at Ruskin, located at 3000 Airport Dr. at the Santa Monica Airport.

The comedic drama by Stephen Metcalfe was commissioned by the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York and staged its world premiere there in 1982\. A three-character play in which two are Vietnam veterans bearing heavy psychic wounds from their wartime experiences, “Strange Snow” has had successful runs at theaters throughout the U.S., as well as London, Edinburgh and Japan. It was also made into the major motion picture “Jacknife,” with Robert DeNiro and Ed Harris.

“Strange Snow” is directed by John Ruskin and features Mike Myers, Dane Zinter and Sarah Maine.

Tickets for “Strange Snow” are $20 general and $15 for students and senior citizens.
