Show of Force is our first workshop in awhile and we are so excited to be developing this wonderful play that gives us insight into the world of our women veterans.

Four women come together in a Meet Up in the back room of a bar once a week to share their experiences and to help each other heal in a civilian world.

This play is being read in front of an audience for the first time and is the first step towards a full production in May of 2019. You can be there from the beginning. Please join us:

Beverly Coyle will join us at the reading and will be available to answer questions.
