This program brings Veterans and Servicemembers together in an exploration of texts about military life and service. Drawing from drama, poetry, and other narratives, participants will create a rehearsed reading for public performance in the intimate Gregory Family Theater under the guidance of Rick Davis, Dean of George Mason University's College of Visual and Performing Arts and Professor of Theater. Workshop rehearsals will include basic voice, speech, and acting techniques to increase confidence and build ensemble. Participants must attend all six workshops, culminating in a 7:30 p.m. performance on October 28. This workshop is open and FREE to Veterans, Servicemembers, military family members, and military caregivers ages 18 and older. Space is limited.
