Modern Warrior LIVE is an immersive music and narrative experience that chronicles the story of US Army veteran Jaymes Poling and his journey through three deployments in Afghanistan and subsequent transition back home. Narrated by Poling, this autobiographical production weaves together his story with a cast of world-class artists in multiple genres led by internationally-acclaimed trumpeter Dominick Farinacci. This production shares a personal and emotional journey of the challenges of military service and the experience veterans face when they return back home, and it is a catalyst for meaningful conversation about mental health.
This event will be an evening that fosters reflection, resilience, and hope as we come together to honor the experiences of our veterans. The performance will be followed by a brief panel presentation featuring Modern Warrior LIVE founders, veterans, and advocates. We will also highlight the many resources available through local nonprofit and veteran service organizations.
