What’s happening at VetRep…
Join us for an intimate evening of theater in the heart of Cornwall at our cozy Parlor on Quaker Ave. The final Parlor performance of the year will feature seven, 10-minute plays authored by veterans, including plays that have won grants through VetRep’s bi-annual Playwriting competition. Settle in with a winter mocktail and dessert while we explore drama, comedy, and all the feelings in between through each short play.

SUNSET & VINE by Jack Truman
Meet Marine Corps veteran and musician, Ben Fortier. Ben’s music is raw and real, channeling his life and service into a deeply authentic sound.
If you came to last month’s Savage Wonder Festival, you got to hear Ben’s ambient music live throughout the weekend.
For the closing ceremony, Ben played the perfect soundscape. People are still talking about the synergy he had with the artists, dancers, and the audience who walked and moved on stage as an impromptu co-creation. (Check out our IG reel from Oct 13.)
It’s moments like these that fuel VetRep's mission. Join us to make more of these moments possible for artists like Ben. With a monthly donation, you help bring more veteran voices to our stage.
Commit today to support art that matters, supporting artists who have selflessly served our nation.
