Presented in recognition of Veterans Day, “Fit for Society” is a compelling and unflinching play about the military experience during war. Encounter the stories of actual soldiers, survivors and family members presented without pity, apology or political agenda. The play was produced by the Veterans Center for the Performing Arts and written by BRIAN MONAHAN, the son of a Navy officer, and director STEPHAN WOLFERT, a U.S. Army veteran and the military director of the Tony Award-winning Broadway production “Movin’ Out!”
+
The LA Weekly states that Wolfert “shapes the performances of his excellent cast well, inspiring an authentic, gripping tone throughout.”
+
Following the performance, ANTHONY HASSAN, associate professor at the USC School of Social Work and director of the Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans and Military Families, will moderate a conversation with Wolfert. In an interactive reception following the conversation, several USC veterans will share how their military experiences have shaped their lives.
+
Organized by Syreeta Greene (Transfer and Veteran Student Programs) and Anthony Hassan (Social Work). Co-sponsored by the Office of Campus Activities—Transfer and Veteran Student Programs, USC School of Social Work, Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans and Military Families and Office of Religious Life.
