Our Mission

 

The value of live theatre is immeasurable. VetStage offers self-growth and education to all of its audiences. But that could be said about all theatre companies.  What makes VetStage unique is its subject matter and the benefit that it will have for its participants.  VetStage presents one of the best opportunities for our nation’s veterans to define their experience and how it is perceived by the public.  In addition to that, it provides a positive, creative outlet for veterans to process their personal experience, enable them to make an artistic contribution to society and ease the transition back into civilian life.  Our classes for veterans are focused on building self-confidence through playwriting, acting workshops and performance. Our performances are always a new experience for audiences whether it is a new rendition of classic war and homecoming plays, or new works developed by VetStage. We try to relate as performers to our contemporary audience and offer new insights on our society from the veterans’ perspective.
