War & Therapy

The play is directed by Scott Allinson and stars Nichole Donje and Brian Jones, all former Rhode Islanders and alumni of Rhode Island College. The performance is free. War & Therapy is based on the experience of a woman soldier suffering with post traumatic stress disorder. Paula J. Caplan's plays have been performed across the United States and have won numerous awards, including Pen & Brush New Plays Contest, LDI Productions New Plays Contest; Samuel French New, Short Plays Contest, SUPERSlam Boston; Lewis National Playwriting Contest for Women. WAR & THERAPY is one of the three plays she has written about war veterans; the others are SHADES and BURNS. The latest of her 12 nonfiction books is When Johnny and Jane Come Marching Home: How All of Us Can Help Veterans, and she is the recipient of the David Gallego Award (for friend to veterans) from Veterans for Peace, Chapter 19. Paula writes a blog about veterans.

“It's not a label that soothes some ones suffering. It’s the willingness of someone to listen and support - it's human connection that heals the soul. “
