ARTfactory

Medusa &amp; Circe: An Odyssey, the Myth that Born Them All is a devised theatrical work created through ARTfactory’s Pied Piper Theatre Intensives, where ensemble collaboration, physical storytelling, and mythic inquiry drive the creative process. Rather than retelling classical myths as fixed narratives, the piece reimagines Medusa and Circe as central figures in a shared odyssey. Medusa and Circe are no longer cautionary tales or antagonists to heroes, but myth-makers in their own right—voices emerging from the margins to reclaim agency over their stories. Directed once again by Alex Mills and Ashton Schaffer.
Performances will be held in the Wind River Theater at the ARTfactory on May 15 &amp; 16 at 7:00 PM and May 17 at 2:00 PM.

Serve Our Willing Warriors dba Willing Warriors

May 16, 2026 – The Warrior Retreat at Bull Run will host the 7th Annual Vettes for Willing Warriors, bringing together over 200 Corvettes and classic cars for a powerful day of community, connection, and purpose.
This free, family-friendly event, held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., invites the public onto the retreat grounds for a unique opportunity to experience firsthand the mission of Willing Warriors.
While many know Willing Warriors for its cost-free respite stays for wounded, ill, and injured service members and their families, the organization also provides on-site programming at the Grand Lodge in Haymarket, Virginia, expanding its impact beyond rest to include ongoing support, connection, and healing.
These programs include peer connection, trauma and moral injury support, and other initiatives designed to help warriors, veterans, and first responders move forward in their recovery journey. Through this work, Willing Warriors continues to expand its reach creating space not only for military families, but also for those who serve their communities here at home.
Attendees can expect:
<ul><li>Over 200 Corvettes and classic cars on display</li><li>Open house tours of the retreat grounds</li><li>Food, music, and awards</li><li>Special guest appearance by renowned car enthusiast and Chasing Classic Cars host Wayne Carini</li></ul>
Join the mission—register your vehicle or become a sponsor!
Set on 37 acres in the foothills of the Bull Run Mountains, the Warrior Retreat provides a peaceful space where military families can rest, reconnect, and reset while the Grand Lodge allows for expanded programming that continues that support beyond the stay.

From polished chrome to roaring engines, the 7th Annual Vettes for Willing Warriors Car Show is rolling into the Warrior Retreat at Bull Run on Saturday, May 16, 2026. What draws people in may be the cars, but what keeps this event moving year after year is the mission behind them.
While the vehicles take center stage, the heart of the day is community, connection, and care. Every Corvette registered, every sponsor engaged, and every guest in attendance helps fuel the work of Willing Warriors in serving wounded, ill, and injured active-duty service members, veterans, first responders, and their families.
The Warrior Retreat at Bull Run provides five-night, cost-free respite stays designed to give Warriors and their families space to rest, reconnect, and reset. Nestled in the foothills of the Bull Run Mountains, the Retreat offers a peaceful and private setting where Warriors may stay with up to nine loved ones or battle buddies. Across 37 acres, three retreat homes create an environment intentionally built to support healing, reflection, and renewed strength.
In 2024, the Retreat expanded with the opening of the Grand Lodge and the outdoor Patriot Pavilion, increasing both capacity and impact. These additions allow for expanded programming including post-traumatic stress support, peer mentorship, moral injury programming, trauma resiliency initiatives, veteran-led youth leadership development, and financial literacy education. To date, more than 3,200 Warriors and family members have experienced the Retreat, each taking meaningful steps forward on their healing journey.
Across the country, Warrior and Soldier Recovery Units remain full, and the mental health needs of our veteran and first responder communities continue to rise. The demand for restorative spaces that offer not only rest, but a path forward has never been greater.
This is why Vettes for Willing Warriors matters.
Vehicle pre-registration is $25, with on-site registration available for $30 beginning at 8:00 a.m. To register your vehicle, become a sponsor, or learn more about the event, visit <a href="https://www.willingwarriors.org/corvette-show" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.willingwarriors.org/corvette-show</a>.
