Dear Campus Community,  In honor of Veterans Day, please join us for “What Happens Next,” an original play written in collaboration with the veteran community, on Monday, November 18.       In “What Happens Next,” Bonnie, an idealistic but inexperienced acting teacher, finds herself paired with a group of veterans as part of a drama therapy program. As she is confronted with the reality of her reluctant new students, Bonnie struggles to find a way to build trust and find common ground.   Monday, November 18, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Winifred Smith Hall, Claire Trevor School of the Arts   RSVP   Written by award-winning playwright Naomi Iizuka and directed by Cornerstone’s Artistic Director Michael John Garcés, “What Happens Next” was first performed in association with La Jolla Playhouse as part of their Beyond the Walls series at the Challenged Athlete’s Foundation in San Diego, for an audience of veterans, their families and the general public, and benefiting Operation Rebound.  Cornerstone Theater Company has been making new plays with and about communities throughout Los Angeles and beyond for over 33 years. Nationally recognized as a leader in community-engaged theater, their plays celebrate many voices as they strive to include people who have not been on stage or even seen theater. Combining the artistry of people with many levels of theatrical experience, they act upon the conviction that artistic expression is civic engagement and that access to a creative forum is essential to the wellness and health of every individual and community. Their plays are staged in theaters, parking lots, factories, schools and community centers. Each venue is specific to its project and community; audiences pay what they can so their performances are always accessible to all.    Co-sponsored by Illuminations and the UCI Veteran Services Center
