Tapestries of Transformation

Tapestries (2023–2024) brought veterans, active military, artists, and community members together through a retreat, gatherings, creative workshops, and eight weeks of collaborative playmaking in Joshua Tree, California. The program culminated in a sold-out community-driven theatrical performance that celebrated connection, belonging, and shared storytelling. The production later received the Joshua Award for Outstanding Indoor Theatrical Production. Mil-Tree also created a replication toolkit for nonprofits at CommunityLoom.org. The program was supported by the California Arts Council, Creative Corps Inland SoCal, and the Inland Empire Community Foundation.
