Arts In The Armed Forces is amazing because they bring Arts to our men and women of the armed forces. Everyone should at least once i their lifetime see a play. AITAF brings this to those whom serve our country. Mr Adam Driver and His wife Mrs Joanne are a huge blessing to the armed forces for founding AITAF!

This is a necessary organization. To bring storytelling and the armed forces together—-to heal, to inspire, to challenge, to welcome, to build community among the forces and give back to many who have done so much for the country.

When I first heard about what Arts In The Armed Forces was about, I thought "What an amazing idea". People are quick to send supplies in support of our troops, but what about their souls? I'm the daughter of a WWII veteran and my husband, father-in-law, and other family members have also served in the military. I think it's wonderful that they put on high caliber theater productions for the military members and their families. I recently started donating to AITAF and plan on doing it regularly in the future.

I love this nonprofit and fully support what AITAF does. It’s a fantastic outlet for our armed forces and brings the arts to those who might not otherwise be exposed to it. The quality of what is provided is also stellar. Please keep up the awesome work!

I have been a financial and social ally of this non-profit for the past three years, and I don't see that ending until I do. I support AITAF because its mission (emotional, transformative experiences through storytelling) means a lot to me. Growing up in a multi-generational military family, I've seen firsthand the emotional burdens that soldiers not only bring back with them from combat, but continue to carry throughout their lives. My father worked for nearly 30 years as a clinical psychologist for the Air Force, the Naval Reserves, and then as a civilian doctor for the Army. He believed that expressing one's feelings and taking control of one's own narrative was paramount to healing. He also was a great lover of Shakespeare (Henry V being a particular favorite) and the theatre. I support this organization also as a way of honoring his memory, as I know he would be one of the first to give AITAF a standing ovation.

AITAF is a remarkable organization. It is clear that every member of the team is so genuinely invested in their mission because the work that they create is top-notch. Every. Time.

My family is all retired military veterans, and I know firsthand how much this level of exposure to the arts positively affects them.
