It's time to speak. It's time to listen.
“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,
