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
In 2020, due to the global pandemic, The Telling Project was unable to execute any programs, due to the restrictions on public gatherings. Because this was a gradually unfolding situation, The Telling Project did, in fact, work on several productions, without being able to stage them. The Telling Project scheduled, and re-scheduled, performances of "She Went To War," an all-female combat veteran performance, for both the National Women's Veterans Memorial, and the Veterans Administration Annual Conference. In both cases, these performances were postponed. The Telling Project also planned for a production of "Under the Same Moon: Austin," in Austin, TX, working with a group of Austin area refugees, and in collaboration with Austin Community College. This was cancelled. The Telling Project was in pre-production on a 'Telling,' performance in Naperville, IL, which has been postponed indefinitely; and it was, and remains, in pre-production on "She Came Home," the sequel performance to "She Went to War," in which the same cast of female combat veterans continue their stories of life and the military, this time focusing on the transition out of the military and back to civilian life.$4,839-
