Army B.R.A.T.
Hi there! I'm Robin Galloway and my one woman show ARMY B.R.A.T., directed by Eliza Baldi, has been invited for further workshop development at The Women & War Festival in London this summer.
What It Is…
Told through the eyes of a female child growing up in a multi-generational military household, ARMY B.R.A.T. takes you on an intimate journey across continents, battlefields and generations.
Why This Story….
The story of the veteran's experience is often told through the eyes of a veteran or spouse. Rarely, if ever, is this story told through the eyes of the child of a veteran.
The History Behind the Story….
ARMY B.R.A.T. is based upon my own life and originated as my graduate school thesis at Brown University in 2006. It sat quietly on a shelf for 10 years….until Eliza Baldi encouraged me to breath life back into it! Over the past several months, Eliza and I have worked in collaboration in order to make the story of ARMY B.R.A.T. stronger and more compelling.
Our Dream...
Our goal is to have a successful London workshop in order to bring it back for a fully staged production in United States. We need your help to realize this dream!
