Poetic Theater Productions presents a pay-what-you-can online reading of original work by veterans and the family members of veterans on October 24, 7-8:30pm. There will be a panel discussion with the participants after the event. Please consider sticking around on Zoom to participate in that.

Warrior cultures of the past such as the Greeks, Romans, and Native Americans welcomed their military home in rituals of storytelling. Following in that tradition, the Veteran Voices program seeks to create a compassionate environment for veterans and the family members of veterans to speak their truths, share their experiences, and bear witness together. Throughout the workshop series, they use writing and storytelling as tools to foster creativity, compassion, and camaraderie both among the participants and among the audience members of the final performance.

RSVP for the event here.
