Modern Warrior LIVE is a uniquely immersive narrative and music experience that chronicles one veteran’s journey. US Army Veteran Jaymes Poling shares the story of his three deployments in Afghanistan and subsequent transition back home. Jaymes' story is his own, but the themes explored in the show are universal. Generations of veterans have seen the show and found deep connection with the stories and experiences.
The show honors those who have served and highlights resilience and “post-traumatic growth.” It also aims to break down societal barriers that leave veterans feeling isolated.
Modern Warrior LIVE aims to break down the societal barriers that leave veterans feeling alone. It is a catalyst for meaningful conversation about mental health, post-traumatic growth and the veteran experience. As the pandemic has exacerbated existing mental health and personal challenges, and the exit from Afghanistan has understandably brought additional complex and difficult feelings and conversations to the forefront, the story of Modern Warrior Live and the conversation it sparks is more important now than ever.
Please stay tuned after the credits for special remarks from creators Jaymes Poling & Dominick Farinacci
What People are Saying about Modern Warrior LIVE
“One of the most moving, touching experiences regarding war that I've felt since returning from Vietnam 46 years ago!”
“The show is like nothing else I've ever experienced; it is a genre unto its own. I was so entirely captivated by the interplay of the story with the music that I did not breathe for large sections of this performance."
“Having lost my son to suicide, this performance brought me peace.”
