If you believe we should "Support Our Troops", you ought to Support Their Stories. Please join legendary actor Tom Skerritt (TOP GUN, ALIEN, STEEL MAGNOLIAS) on Friday, June 30th at the Gesa Power House Theatre to do just that.

Tom Skerritt is the co-founder — along with retired Army Captain Evan Bailey — of The Red Badge Project, a non-profit teaching veterans coping with PTSD and TBIs the skills needed for five-star storytelling.

On this evening, Skerritt and two founding faculty members, Shawn Wong and Warren Etheredge, will share some of their trade secrets with you and introduce you to a handful of veterans who will share their stories on stage. Etheredge — who will serve as the event’s emcee — is also the co-founder and curator of the Walla Walla Movie Crush that will take place on July 1 and 2, also at the Power House.

For more than five years, The Red Badge Project has been helping veterans express themselves in order to conquer their demons. (The Walla Walla Public Library has been host to the group since 2014.) You can help the cause by buying tickets - all proceeds benefit The Red Badge Project - to ensure that the stories told by the men and women of national service are held, healing, and heard.

Reserved seating tickets ($25) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.
