"Disconnected"

By Chris Madsen

Drab feelings on a sunny day
Intentionally separated
Shouldn’t let roses wilt
Camped on a lone peak
Overly complicated resolutions
Not that it wasn’t expected
Never going to catch up to the clock
Eager skeletons are calling, they’re
Concocting something numbing
Tired of reprising
Every other weekend songs
Dealing with impatient thieves

What’s happening at VetRep…

Listen to our latest episode with Lois Hicks-Wozniak on the Savage Wonder Podcast, where we interview incredibly talented musicians, artists, writers, and theater professionals, who also happen to be veterans.

The parlor is back! Our first show of the season titled “Dunkirk…and Other Surprises” is a feature of seven veteran authored 10-minute plays. Join us for an evening of both drama and comedies, accompanied by dessert and a refreshing mocktail! Seating is limited and shows sell out fast, so get your tickets here.
