"Looking Back"
By War Torn Poetry
Looking back at what all the pictures show
She was always better off, on her own
Now just memories of her past
Where both good and bad were never meant to last
In this fruitful pain she will forever be alone
To a heartbreak she calls home

What’s happening at VetRep…
Mark your calendars for November 28th! Giving Tuesday is just one week away, and VetRep needs your support. Here are some ways you can show your love to VetRep this season!
1. Listen to the Savage Wonder Podcast, where we conduct long-form interviews with veteran artists, writers, musicians, and playwrights.
2. Subscribe to this blog! If you’re reading this, you probably already do, so tell your friends and share the love so they can receive the best in veteran artists too.
3. Attend live events. Between our parlor shows, public play workshops, WonderGround events, and community outreach, there’s always something happening, so bring a friend and come say hello!
4. Share us on social. Do you have pictures from an event you attended, love a piece on the blog? Share it on Facebook or Instagram and be sure to tag us.

VetRep is proud to present Michael Frayn’s “Chinamen” for our November and December Parlor shows. This legendary British farce has five characters and only two actors, and you won’t want to miss the final, hilarious performances of the season. We have enjoyed sold out shows all year, and while there are worse problems we could have, we want to encourage you to get your tickets to “Chinamen” before they disappear!
Join us for the December 7th performance of War Words with New York Rep!
War Words is a Pulitzer Prize nominated docu-play in the words of the men and women who served in the U.S. Military during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, based on the playwright’s interviews with veterans of the 20-year Long War and their families. You can get discounted tickets to the December 7 performance – where VetRep will be hosting a post-show talkbalk.
Our Acting for Beginners class is now being offered weekly every Saturday from 10am-12pm. Scholarships for qualifying veterans, as well as multi-class passes are available. Registration details can be found here.
