Adam Driver Brings Monologues to the Military: Arts in the Armed Forces

“We’re hoping to show that language is a powerful tool, that self-expression is a powerful tool - it’s just as valuable as any rifle you carry or any tool you can put in your pack.” Those are the words of Marine-turned-actor Adam Driver (Girls, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) introducing a US military audience to the theatrical performance they were about to see.
Driver is the founder of Arts in the Armed Forces, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing thought-provoking and impactful contemporary theater to American military personnel currently “in theater.”
VICE News followed Driver and his fellow actors (including Joanne Tucker, Natasha Lyonne, Eric Bogosian, Peter Scolari, Sasheer Zamata, and many more) on their first trip to the Middle East, where they struggle to broaden the offerings of on-base entertainment beyond country-western cover bands and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

Then he started his first reading and got so intense I'm pretty sure if I had been standing directly in front of him and if he had been reading at me that intensely I might have been scared to tears too! Really shows just how good he is that he can 180 his personality like that!

I swear this man is an amazing human being. I just finished binge watching all 4 seasons of Girls on HBO Now. That shit is beautifully crafted with intelligent dialogue and great, nuanced performances. Adam Driver's embodiment of Adam Sackler is fucking genius. Seriously. Then I stumble on this piece about his Arts in the Armed non-profit and I am throughly convinced he isn't your run-of-the-mill, rising celebrity. He is an actor who loves his craft and has found away to uniquely marry it to a noble cause. Growing up as a Marine brat myself, I know the lack of variety of resources that our veterans have access to, even though they risk life and limb for our country. Like Adam says, these soldiers deal with the severity of war every day, you don't think that some wouldn't enjoy entertainment more complex than "Fast and Furious 1-100"? C'mon. Though, it might be perceived that the vast majority of our soldiers are purely analytical, many are right sided brain thinkers as well. We should encourage them in to flourish in the arts during and after their service. Not only can it be a pleasant distraction to the horrors they have had to endure but it can be therapeutic in many ways. YOU FUCKING ROCK ADAM DRIVER!

Its kind of funny ... at 17:50 they are in a restaurant that I've been to in Kuwait City. Its actually a dhow (a type of ship from the Persian Gulf region) that they pulled up on the beach right next to the Radison Blu hotel. Pretty nice place. I wasn't part of this program or anything, I was there working for the USO and when you first come in-country, you live out of the Radison. Buts a great thing they're doing As a Vet, its nice to see real engagement by members of the civilian class.

I'm currently a USO volunteer. I always wondered how one gets to go abroad.

@dpf1971 8 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure if the place is owned by the Radison, ie run by it, or it happens to be just next door to it. Now when you say you're a USO volunteer - do you work for the USO or are you active-duty and happen to volunteer at a USO center where you are based?

Amazing work. Great to see husband-wife actors create such a great project, bringing a little escapism and sense of community to these veterans.

I wasn't sure I would enjoy watching this but I did. Never watched/listened to just monologues before and all the actors were great. Not having a set and costume makes you focus more on the words. Wish I could go to one of these.

I think it’s pretty cool that Driver started this theater program way before he started doing camera acting. To see where it is now is admirable and just shows how accomplished he is before we even start talking about Star Wars.

That was awesome, I hope that you are able to do more shows like this and that people, all people both in power in the military and out, and those that a civilians with no idea of what it is like come away with knowing that giving the those in the military a real part of the world, real art, with culture not just simple shows is really great, and a lot of them want more things like that.

Adam Driver = what an awesome guy. The accompanying actors = awesome team! As for the sad state of the theater setting and lack of maintenance, welcome to how things are run by the government. For all those wanting bigger government, observe and get the used to such misuse and abuse of vast amounts of money.

I started first liking adam for his physical appearance. But now I have truly grown to admire his and joanne's passion for this artform. They seem like the type of people who never stopped working and always set their mind on what to create next. I sense great passion, talent, dedication and love in what they do especially in aitaf. I truly admire these people.
