About this event

“Veterans Voices: Sharing Stories, Supporting Veterans” is a staged reading of ten plays performed by actors reading from scripts in front of a live audience, without sets or costumes. When veterans bring their wartime experiences directly to the stage, audiences gain a profound understanding of conflict that goes beyond what headlines or books alone can convey. Live performance creates a unique opportunity for emotional connection and deeper empathy with the challenges of military service.

These plays have special resonance here in South Florida, home to thousands of veterans. The scripts were developed under the guidance of dramaturg Angeline Larimer, who works with veterans across the country to help them write and develop plays for the stage. The inaugural staged reading of these ten plays took place in April 2026 in Indianapolis, produced in conjunction by Propel New Works and Theatre for Veterans. Fred Rallo, a U.S. Navy veteran from Fort Lauderdale and a Seaside Players actor and playwright, authored one of the plays and participated in the Indianapolis production. Seaside Players producer Steve d’Oliveira also attended that inaugural event.
