Fit for Society A Performance by the Veterans Center for the Performing Arts

Admission is free.

Reception to follow.

Presented in recognition of Veterans Day, Fit for Society is a compelling and unflinching play about the trials and anecdotes of the military experience during a time of war. Honest, funny, moving, poignant and awe-inspiring, Fit for Society is told from the perspective of actual soldiers, survivors and family members. Experience these stories presented without pity, apology or political agenda. The play was produced by the Veterans Center for the Performing Arts and written by Brian Monahan, the son of a Navy officer, and Stephan Wolfert, a U.S. Army veteran. Wolfert, who also directed the play, was the military director of the Tony Award–winning Broadway production Movin’ Out! The LA Weekly states that Wolfert “shapes the performances of his excellent cast well, inspiring an authentic, gripping tone throughout.”

In an interactive reception following the performance, several USC veterans will share how their military experiences have shaped their lives in a conversation moderated by Anthony Hassan. Hassan is a clinical associate professor at the USC School of Social Work and serves as the director of the Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans and Military Families. He is a retired Air Force officer with 25 years of experience in military social work and leadership development.

Organized by Syreeta Greene (Transfer and Veteran Student Programs) and Anthony Hassan (Social Work). Co-sponsored by the Office of Campus Activities—Transfer and Veteran Student Programs, USC School of Social Work, Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans and Military Families and Office of Religious Life.
