RANGER
Jun 28 @ 7:00 pm
Gunter Theatre

RANGER is a true tale of war seen through the lens of a Special Operations soldier, Sgt. David Waterhouse, in Iraq and Afghanistan. This first-hand account documents the brutality of combat and the raw nature of killing and death. It’s a journey of innocence lost, and the scars of war etched into the minds of service members. An untold account everyone should hear.

The Ranger Creed states that, “I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than other soldier.”

After the release of RANGER, Further Faster Harder Foundation was created to give veterans a platform to tell their stories and find their purpose and voice again through documentaries, books, art, podcasts, and many other avenues.

Friday, June 28th marks the 19-year anniversary of the largest loss of Special Operations life since the Vietnam War. This event honors the memories of the 19 men who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

We want to welcome everyone to join us in our First Charity Screening and Silent Auction to help give Voices to Vets.

An Evening with Ed
Dec 2 @ 7:00 pm
Hotel Hartness

Purchase your tickets below
Get ready for an unforgettable evening with Lt. Col. Ed Cottrell, a living legend and 102-year-old WWII P-47 fighter pilot, as he shares his thrilling experiences from the cockpit in the heart of World War II.

From his missions in Belgium and Germany—skip-bombing enemy positions and dodging deadly ground fire—to his harrowing encounter with German Me-109 fighters during the Battle of the Bulge, Ed’s story is one of sheer resilience and courage. Blinded by oil from a 20mm shell hit and facing enemy fighters on both sides, Ed made a daring escape, chugging his damaged P-47 home at a nail-biting 120 mph.

This isn’t just a recount of history; it’s a firsthand tale of survival against the odds, split-second decisions in the face of danger, and honor for those who fought to turn the tide against Hitler.

Don’t miss your chance to meet Ed Cottrell, hear his incredible story, and honor a veteran who’s been decorated with the French Legion of Honor and immortalized in Waiting for the Bullets, his Valor Studios print depicting this very encounter.

The Thorn
Mar 30 @ 7:00 pm
Bon Secours Wellness Arena

“The Thorn,” a powerful and popular live theatrical event, seen live by over one million people, will bring the passion of Jesus to life this spring at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.

The Thorn offers audiences a unique theatrical experience in a show that has been hailed as “Cirque meets ‘The Passion’” thanks to its compelling mix of drama, music, dance, martial arts, aerial acrobatics, emotionally evocative performances, and timeless spiritual perspectives. The story spans from creation to the formation of the early church. Watch the trailer here.  For more information, please visit TheThorn.com

Author John Bolin created the show over 25 years ago to convey the meaning of Christ’s sacrificial death to a group of young people who knew little about the story of Jesus’ suffering but were familiar with pain through their own practice of cutting and self-harm.

The show has evolved ever since, with the current live version returning to the original format featuring St. John, “the beloved disciple,” recalling his many amazing encounters with Jesus.

“It’s a story full of love, sacrifice, spiritual warfare, and redemption,” said Bolin.

New York. 1950s. When David Wilkerson senses the call of God to minister to the gangs of New York, he could never have imagined the challenges and struggles he was going to face along the way. The violence, drugs, and despair that plagues the gang members seem to overwhelm his every effort, but soon, through God’s work in the life of one young man named Nicky Cruz, David begins to see that the transformation he is working for comes only through the power of the Holy Spirit.
