WAR AND ‘WOOD’ Actor Samuel Calderon was playing a soldier in a play at the Haifa Theater in Israel when the Yom Kippur War broke out in 1973. He was soon drafted to fight, and he befriended a soldier who had the same name as the character he had portrayed onstage. It took Mr. Calderon two decades to feel comfortable sharing his experiences. The result is “Knock on Wood,” which is currently in its world-premiere run. Ruth Dytches directs. Through Saturday, June 11, Tuesday-Saturday, 7 p.m., 13th Street Repertory Theater, 50 W. 13th St., between Fifth and Sixth avenues, 212-352-3101, $20 in advance, $25 at the door.
