Albuquerque Veterans Tell Their Stories

www.TheTellingProject.org

Since 2008, The Telling Project has traveled to cities around the United States offering military veterans an opportunity to deepen their connections with the communities they live in.  This month, in Telling: Albuquerque, eight New Mexico veterans and military family members share their stories with audiences at the South Broadway Cultural Center.  The local producer of the show is New Mexico poet Caroline LeBlanc, who is also a retired U.S. Army nurse, as well as an Army wife and Army mother.

Spencer Beckwith reports on the arts for KUNM. For ten years, until March of 2014, Spencer was the producer and host of KUNM's "Performance New Mexico," a weekday morning arts program that included interviews with musicians, writers and performers. Spencer is a graduate of the acting program at the Juilliard School, and, before moving to New Mexico in 2002, was for many years a professional actor based in New York City.
