The Veteran's Spouse Project uses theater to share stories
Theater and storytelling can be beneficial to many different groups of people. Some stories that often go untold are those of military spouses. The nationwide nonprofit, The Veteran’s Spouse Project (VSP), is putting on a play to share these with the public. “In Between,” a show written by military spouses, is coming to life in the West Point community.

"Military spouses endure so much during both times of war and peace. We endeavor to show how unique and unheard these voices are," said Lea Johnson, Veteran’s Spouse Project’s executive director. She added, "We’re so grateful for our relationship with Corvias, who matched a grant we received from the National Endowment for the Arts. Their long-time support of our mission helps us deliver the healing power of storytelling. Military spouses often feel invisible to the civilian community around them. Through the performance of in*Between, the Veteran’s Spouse Project will make them visible."

For decades, I would play this scene from the movie, We Were Soldiers, based on the book by Lieutenant General Hal Moore and Joe Galloway in my theatre classes – a scene where Madeline Stowe, (playing Moore’s wife, Julia), thinks that the taxi driver walking to her door is delivering the dreaded telegram.
