Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Telling Project is dedicated to producing "Telling", an innovative theatrical performance in which veterans and their immediate family members, after extensive interview, performance training and rehearsal, stage the 'telling' of their stories of life and the military to their communities. The Telling Project also produces documentary films which address and arise from the work being done in the staged productions. The Telling Project is a response to several critical issues: among these are widespread public ignorance of the immediate impact of war on individuals and communities; difficulties that this ignorance poses to soldiers transitioning back to civilian life; and the danger that ignoring the rift between the veteran and civilian populations poses to communities and the nation as a whole. Central to the mission of The Telling Project is that it holds no political view as regards the military or its actions.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
During 2017, The Telling Project put on 41 performances in eleven cities, with the goal of employing theater to deepen the understanding of the military and veterans experience. Greater understanding fosters receptivity, easing veterans transitions back to civil society, and allowing communities to benefit from the skills and experience they bring with them. Through this understanding, a community deepens its connection to its veterans, itself, and its place in the nation and the world. In 2017, over 8,000 audience members were in attendance for the following "Telling" performances:Telling: Norfolk, VATelling: Seattle, WATelling: Southwest Florida (Naples, FL)Telling: Toms River, NJTelling: Wayne, NJTelling: Yuma, AZTelling: Virginia Beach, VAMinnesota Remembers Vietnam: The Telling Project (Minneapolis, MN)She Went to War (Minneapolis, MN)Telling: Austin 2014 reprise (Austin, TX)Planting the Oar HoustonPlanting the Oar Kansas City$129,301-
