Taurel, the creator and performer of The American Soldier, recently joined former Navy SEAL and Joe Rogan Experience regular Andy Stumpf on his popular Cleared Hotpodcast. The two dive deep into the inspiration behind Taurel’s critically acclaimed one-man show, his personal connection to military service, and the emotional impact of sharing veterans' stories with audiences across the country.

How can a single story inspire change and healing? In this post, we explore the profound impact of storytelling in honoring veterans and military families. From my powerful conversation on Andy Stumpf’s podcast to heartfelt messages from Gold Star mothers, discover how The American Soldier play continues to evolve and expand its narrative. Learn why sharing these stories fosters understanding, empathy, and support for those who have served.

Theatre has been an impactful medium for telling stories, expressing emotions, and reflecting on the cultural landscape of our lives and our world.

It has been magical to me to see the transformative power the play has had on audiences and the honor it has brought to so many of our veterans and military families. Together we have created so many beautiful moments of connection with audiences, soldiers, and military families of every race, religion, and gender throughout our nation.
