VETERANS EMPOWERMENT THEATRE PRESENTS "VOLUN-TEARS"

Written by Korean War Vet, Lester Probst, "VOLUN-TEARS" recounts the journey of an Army officer who's finally forced to confront the guilt that has tormented him after failing to protect a female soldier from repeated sexual abuse. 

Performed by industry professionals including U.S. Veterans, the play hopes to start a dialogue about the current culture inside the military and shine a light on military sexual trauma.
