SHOW SYNOPSIS
Military veterans find a voice to share their stories of service when matched up with local
playwrights and actors to bring their stories to the stage. These eight, 10-minutes or less, plays explore the realities of serving and being a veteran in our country.
FROM THE DIRECTOR Leigh Matthews Bock
Being part of South Willamette Valley Honor Flight (www.swvhonorflight.org) for nearly 10
years has produced within me a great appreciation for our veterans. Spending time with veterans has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. It is an honor and privilege to create a space for us to hear our veterans’ voices. Please email Leighmbock@comcast.net to receive a selection of sides from some of our past veteran stories. Video yourself on your phone or computer performing/reading one side, and email it to Leighmbock@comcast.net by Thursday, September 23, 2021 by 5 pm with any rehearsal conflict(s).
