WHO WE ARE
WFP is a collaboration of US military veterans and civilians who believe in the healing effects of art. Our company provides catharsis for those who have served and promotes peace by way of the theatre arts. Our projects are designed to build bridges between communities, support disenfranchised groups, promote ethnic diversity, empower women, narrow the civil-military divide, and foster peace among nations. WFP has a simple philosophy: Who better to promote peace than those who have seen the face of war? We believed art transcends politics and brings people together. WFP provides artists a venue to use their craft to have a positive impact on the world around them and the communities in which they live.

WHAT WE DO
WFP is not just a good idea. We have a history of success that shows how powerful the collaboration is when civilians and veterans come together to help our war fighters heal, empower people, and promote peace through building bridges. Here are just a few examples of the work we have done in the past year:
