Eighth Annual Veterans Play Festival - Nov. 14

Eighth Annual Veterans Play Festival - Nov. 14

Join us for the eighth annual festival featuring the work of writers from across the United States. The goal of this festival is to cultivate a supportive environment for creative exploration in and around the varied experiences that surround the military. This festival uses theatre to begin a community conversation that builds bridges between the civilian and military worlds.

Each performance will be followed by a conversation with the audience, cast, directors and playwrights.

The plays and playwrights selected for the 2026 Festival:

The Moment
David Barak

Duke of York
James Binz

The Unknown Solider

The Accident
