Acting Through The Aftermath: How Theatre Helps our Heroes Heal

When Lt. Col. Scott Mann came home from combat, he carried stories that were too heavy to hold alone. Like so many veterans, he faced the silent wounds of moral injury—the pain that comes when your values, your promises, and your sense of duty collide with the realities of war.

Scott discovered that courage doesn’t end on the battlefield. It continues in the hard work of healing. Through storytelling and theater, he helps veterans safely confront what they carry, reclaim their voice, and reconnect with the communities they served. His work has opened a new path for service members and military families to process trauma in a way that honors their experience and restores a sense of belonging.

This is an extraordinary story of resilience, fellowship, and the power of art to transform lives.
