"Armistice Redux"

By Chris Madsen

the eleventh hour of
the eleventh day of
the eleventh month

armistice
the war to end all wars

the wars that follow
the lives who have served
the ones that will

armistice
the wars will never end

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.
