The American Soldier is an award-winning solo show that aims to thank our veterans and their families. It gives those with no connection to the military a better understanding of what service and sacrifice mean.
It is a powerful one-man show based on letters from veterans and their families, spanning from the Revolution to our recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The script has been crafted through extensive research and countless interviews with veterans and their family members — a profoundly human story that deepens our collective understanding of their experiences.

My goal with The American Soldier has never been political but to sincerely thank our veterans and their families for their sacrifice and service to our nation — to raise awareness of the struggles veterans and military families face when they come home from war, transition out of the military, and confront the invisible wounds of PTS. Most importantly, I want to help those who have no connection to the military better understand what service to our nation sincerely means.
