“The last time I heard a war story it came from my Grandfather. He is kind of a “uphill to school both ways” kind of story teller, so it was easy to assume some of the gory details had been inflated. The Telling Project, a play performed by eight veterans, made me wish I had listened more to him—and maybe asked a few more questions of the other veterans in my life.” Heather Morse, Willamette Week, June 10, 2009

I had the pleasure of seeing TheTelling in Portland, OR and was very impressed. It was an honor to receive my special invitation. I flew in from Sacramento, CA and it was well worth the trip. I highly recommend that everyone see this play given the opportunity. I only wish it was mandatory for this Nation’s leaders to see TheTelling. I have an extra special appreciation of this play because of my role in writing the “Employment for Veterans with Disabilities, Report of Findings” to the Governor and California Legislature (http://www.edd.ca.gov/Jobs_and_Training/pubs/gcepd-evdreport2008.pdf). We conducted a series of Public Hearings and Veteran’s Focus Groups throughout the State of California. This play brings all the work we did on that report to life. I can’t thank you enough! GREAT JOB!!! I would be willing to assist in any way possible in bringing TheTelling to California.
Thanks again,
Roni Armstrong

Are you selling tickets or taking donations?
Thanks for your question Jim, and the answer is that we don’t sell tickets because there are folks who won’t be able to attend if we did and we don’t want to turn anyone away. We will have a donation box at the performances, the funds from which will go towards outstanding costs, and after costs are covered, towards establishing a veterans scholarship fund at the university. We’re also accepting donations sent to the Student Veterans Association at Portland State University at the address below. Checks should be made out to the SVA of Portland State University.

Again, thanks for the inquiry.
