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
The Telling Project produces live performances in which military veterans, military family members, immigrants and refugees have the opportunity to speak live and in-person to their communities on stage. Through in-person witnessing of these vital experiences, communities have the opportunity to better understand themselves, and connect intimately to the larger world and issues of urgency to all citizens. In 2019, The Telling Project staged new productions in Lansing, MI; Keene, NH; and the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The Telling Project also toured the production of "She Went To War," developed in 2017, to Milwaukee, WI and Washington, DC. In addition, The Telling Project completed the bulk of an invited training offered by Bloomberg Philanthropies for arts nonprofits in Austin, TX.$50,864-
