fit for society

Our signature piece epitomizes the mission of the VCPA. This compelling, unflinching live presentation of the trials and anecdotes of the military experience during a time of war is back by popular demand. Fit For Society, written by Brian Monahan and Stephan Wolfert, had its world premiere at the VCPA over one year ago and played to sold out houses for over eighteen weeks! Honest, funny, moving, poignant and awe-inspiring, Fit for Society is told from the perspective of actual soldiers, survivors and family members. Written by Brian Monahan & Stephan Wolfert.
Oct 11th-Nov. 11th Saturday, Sunday and Monday Nights Only! (Sat & Mon 8pm; Sun 7pm)

a christmas carol
Runs November 21st-December 22nd. Friday, Saturday and Monday nights at 8pm; Sundays at 7pm.
The VCPA brings its unique touch to this literary classic by Charles Dickens. Five actors tell this epic tale in a high-energy, family friendly, 90- minute version where Scrooge and Marley were Army buddies. From the people who brought you the critically acclaimed two-person version of Man of La Mancha comes this neo-classic. Pre-sales are at a new high for the VCPA so reserve seats early.

PRODUCITONS IN DEVELOPMENT For 2009/2010

double whammy
It is estimated that 27% of all women currently serving in the US military have been raped. Commanders have committed the majority of these rapes; it’s called “rape by rank”. More than any other time in our nation’s history we have female soldiers serving in combat roles. Combat is a harrowing experience but add rape and therapists have labeled it: Double Whammy. A theatrical presentation of the accomplishments, the experiences and the tragedies of female soldiers.

a veterans blog
Written by Kurt Gibbons (USAF, Iraq War), A Veterans’ Blog is a live, multimedia presentation of photographs, video, narration and examination of the Iraqi War experience from the soldiers’ perspective. Presented by USAF Combat Photographer Kurt Gibbons and Iraqi citizen/Coalition Forces Interpreter Hass Al-Assady.

Before veteran Nick Corea passed away, he wrote about his experiences in Viet Nam. Nick’s honesty takes you into a world that most people want to avoid. His, almost sick, sense of humor in the face of waiting tragedy gives insight as to why our veteran rarely want to share their experiences when they return from war. Nick wrote his stories the way he lived his life after the war, “he tells it like it was and leaves you to deal with it”.

the colour of war
A theatrical presentation of the accomplishments, the experiences and the under-recognition of our nations African American veterans throughout our nations military history.

yours truly
A world premiere play by Army veteran Patrick Gorman. Yours Truly, is a theatrical presentation of the military experience from Yorktown to Afghanistan.
