Tacoma Little Theatre is presenting a special part of its 100th Anniversary Season by honoring our Veterans and the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day with The Veterans Day Project.
Honoring our Veterans and the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day
with The Veterans Day Project
The Veterans Day Project tells the stories of American combatants over the last hundred years, via letters written home. Created and directed by Beau M.K. Prichard, The Veterans Day Project is the culmination of ten years of work involving almost thirty actors, a half-dozen writers, and consultations with a number of veterans. In private words directed at home front loved ones, this play is told in the words of airmen, sailors, soldiers, and Marines as they share their personal wartime experiences.

These letters are based on historical people and events, but the characters on stage are fictional amalgams, rather than strictly factual portrayals.
Please note that violence is not portrayed on stage in this show, but it is discussed frankly and sometimes explicitly, along with some other strong language. The show also includes one loud sound effect. It is recommended for ages 13 and up.
The letters are based on historical people and events.
