Happy 2025 From VetRep
We packed a lot into our 2024 chapter this year! Two seasons of shows at The Parlor, two playwriting competitions, and The Savage Wonder Festival for the 2nd time ever. Here’s a look back at some of our favorite moments.
THE PARLOR
As 2025 kicks off, VetRep Theater is reflecting on an incredible year of creativity, community, and collaboration. This year, we proudly presented 30 performances across seven, 4-week runs at Parlor, each bringing fresh and powerful voices to the stage. With 25 sold-out shows, our audiences showed up in full force, supporting the extraordinary talent of veteran playwrights and artists.
Throughout the year, we featured over 15 veteran playwrights, each bringing their unique perspectives and stories to life, enriching the cultural landscape and ensuring that their voices were heard loud and clear. From gripping dramas to heartfelt comedies, these works celebrated the depth and diversity of the veteran experience.
THE SAVAGE WONDER FESTIVAL
The Savage Wonder Festival of 2024 was an unforgettable, three day celebration of creativity, resilience, and the power of art. This year, we had the privilege of platforming 10 incredible veteran artists, each showcasing their talents across a diverse range of artistic mediums. From stirring visual art and powerful opera to dynamic dance performances and immersive installations, the festival highlighted the boundless creativity within the veteran community.
The festival immersed over 1500 audience members with a vibrant tapestry of experiences, allowing them to connect deeply with the voices and stories of these talented veterans.
