NARRATION: Staff Sergeant Jaymes Poling (82nd Airborne Division)

MUSIC: Dominick Farinacci

Modern Warrior is an autobiographical musical drama of a soldier's life in the military and transition home. Narrated by Staff Sergeant Jaymes Poling, with a musical score written by Dominick Farinacci, Modern Warrior creates an accessible and empathic platform for civilians to gain a deeper understanding of veterans, while providing an introspective journey for veterans themselves. 

Through this performance, our goals are to:

1. strengthen dialogue between veteran and civilian communities

2. combat social implications of the PTSD stigma

3.  explore pathways to post-traumatic growth
