It's time to speak. It's time to listen.
This is the second of the two New Jersey productions, this one with the wonderful folks at Ocean County College, and performed at the Grunin Center for the Performing Arts. We had a great visit there this summer, and are really excited to see this performance coming to stage. See you there! For tickets and information on Telling: Jersey Shore, click HERE.
We’ll be staging two productions in New Jersey this November. This one is a collaboration with William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ, and this is a great piece on the project – https://patch.com/new-jersey/wayne/veterans-share-their-personal-war-stories-stage. We love working regionally, and through coordination and serendipity, we were able to make this happen in the Garden State this year. We’ll see you there!
We first worked with Dreux Carpenter as a designer in 2013, when he put together our imagery for the first “Telling: Austin, TX,” poster and program. Since then, we’ve returned to him repeatedly – for the quality, intelligence and integrity of his work. Most recently, we reached out to him to assist us with our “She Went to War,” promotional imagery. It was one of the largest scale productions we’ve ever undertaken, and we wanted to make sure it was done right. Dreux did not disappoint.
It’s our privilege to have this relationship. Check out his work at: http://www.dscarpenterdesign.com

In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s landmark series, The Vietnam War, Twin Cities Public Television will be airing “Minnesota Remembers Vietnam: The Telling Project.” There will also be an in-studio screening of “Minnesota Remembers,” with the cast and crew (including Telling Project staff) present on September 29, 2017. Please join us. Tickets are available HERE. We hope to see you there.
Our work with Twin Cities Public Television and a group of people as wonderful as any we have ever encountered is featured on the cover of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s magazine. Couldn’t be more thankful – to these wonderful performers and to the exceptional folks we worked with at TPT.

“This 55-minute event proved absolutely riveting, emotional and honorable.” Graydon Royce, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Full reviews here of our recent, sold-out production, “She Went To War,” at The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. Thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts, the Acton Family Fund, Adept Word Management and, of course, our very good friends at The Guthrie Theater for a tremendous experience assembling and staging this wonderful production!

In March, 2017, SHE WENT TO WAR opened at The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis to rave reviews. A three week run concluded with sold-out houses and standing ovations. SHE WENT TO WAR is new work by The Telling Project, an autobiographical performance by four female veterans, all of whom, in widely varying capacities, experienced significant combat exposure during their terms in the military. All of the women in SWTW have performed their stories with The Telling Project previously. Their stories speak to and for many, many more women whose roles put them in the line of fire. SWTW will be an opportunity for the American public to understand and acknowledge the distinctive and important roles women have played on the battlefield.
“She Went To War,” was supported generously by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Acton Family Fund, Adept Word Management and, of course, our very good friends at The Guthrie Theater.
