Savage WonderGround
We return to the Principle Gallery with a brand-new performance on Thursday, April 13th from 6-8 pm. Savage WonderGround: THREE STRANGERS is a completely unique, never-to-be-duplicated-again, immersive art performance featuring singer/songwriter Logan Vath (Navy), storyteller Charles McCaffrey (Navy), poet Dex (USMC), and USMC Artist-in-Residence Kristopher Battles. You can expect to follow a narrative told in music, spoken word, poetry, and visual art, as the performers and audience move together through a unique gallery space, exploring the characters of Three Strangers: The Thief, The Warrior, and The Lover.
BRAT by Jason Pizzarello
Starring Edie Falco (The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie, Avatar: The Way of Water) and directed by VetRep advisor Bob Balaban (Gosford Park, The Exonerated, The French Dispatch), we’re proud to present four workshop readings of VetRep resident artist Jason Pizzarello’s award-winning play BRAT which we are co-producing with our friends at Penguin Rep Theatre in Rockland County, NY. Set in 2012 and 2016, BRAT is a tragicomic two-person play set in an apartment in Elizabeth, NJ, where a military mother and her neglected, misfit son try to cope with lovers, loss, heartache, and each other before her last deployment and after his first deployment to Afghanistan.
