A Note on the New Edition

Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for the American not-for-profit professional theatre, in partnership with Blue Star Families, launched the Blue Star Theatres Program in 2012. The program is designed to build connections between resident theatre companies in cities and towns across the U.S. and the military families in their communities.

Blue Star Theatres Program activities have included a regrant program to support projects that strengthen relationships between theatres and military communities, special events at theatres around the country, an online directory of theatres offering discounted and free tickets and programs for military families, and a publishing program.

Coming to Terms: American Plays and the Vietnam War was originally published in 1985. As American troops return home from Iraq and Afghanistan, and as we face the prospect of ongoing conflict in other parts of the world, it seems timely to reprint Coming to Terms as one component of TCG’s Blue Star Theatres Program.

TCG’s Blue Star Theatres Program is meant to bring greater familiarity and understanding between the military community and the theatre community, so that there will be an expanded awareness of opportunities for healing and connection. We hope this program is an excellent example of how returning veterans can be engaged with a national community that cares. TCG is committed to honoring the extraordinary dedication of our service members and their families and facilitating these connections on a national scale.

This reprint of Coming to Terms is published by the generosity and leadership support of the MetLife Foundation.
