The Rep, in partnership with Riverside Actors Theatre, presents:

THE BREACH

Saturday, November 9 | 2:00pm

A Celebration of Service

Celebrate Veteran’s Day early and listen to stories of honor, integrity, and personal courage from veterans who served in the Gulf War and the Global War on Terror.  This special performance event will include a Veterans’ Business Expo before and after the show, as well as a Toiletries Donation Drive benefiting the veterans’ ministries of St. Francis House.

This performance is for mature audiences only due to adult language and graphic images.

In addition to stories and performances from the 2024 Cohort of “The Breach”, this special event will feature performances from Oklahoma City-based dance company, Perpetual Motion. Their original work “Big Voices” includes real-life stories from veterans, told through movement.

There is no cost to attend, but donations in support of our community programming are appreciated.  Either way, please reserve your spot at the link below!

The Breach is a veteran-run initiative that brings theatre artists, mental health providers, veterans, first responders or family members together to strengthen the emotional resources they need to overcome trauma and reintegration issues, and to share their experiences through the art and practice of theatre and storytelling.

The 2024 Cohort of The BREACH is generously sponsored by Gen (Ret.) Wesley & Gert Clark, Jim Gifford, and the Windgate Foundation.

Veteran’s Business Expo!

Before and after the matinee performance, spend some time in The Rep’s lobbies learning more about local, veteran-owned business, as well as special services for the veteran community.

Toiletries Donation Drive!

In support of our local veterans’ community, The Rep is hosting a donation drive for St. Francis House’s Veterans Re-Entry Program – which provides transitional housing and therapeutic services for unhoused veterans striving to secure employment and permanent housing. Donations of toiletry items, such as soap, toothbrushes/toothpaste, deodorant, etc. will be collected in our lobby.

The Breach is part of The Rep’s programming initiative through the Department of Community, Learning, and Public Programs. The overall goal of the department is in alignment with The Rep’s desire to capture the collective imagination and build community by embracing the art of theatre in all its forms.  We recognize the unique ability of theatrical activities to improve mental well-being and emotional development. We strive to celebrate and develop the artistry of community members regardless of their age or experience.  We provide a platform for the sharing of varied human experiences to drive community conversations.  And we seek out collaborations with, and make our resources accessible to, like-minded community organizations.
