Thank Me For My Service: A Veteran’s Cry For Help isn’t your typical war story—or your typical comedy show. This one-man performance is the final piece of a raw, unflinching trilogy that began with a documentary shot entirely on a phone in a hotel room and continued through a memoir that pulled no punches. Now, it takes the stage with something rare: the truth, told by someone who’s finally able to laugh at it.

Written and performed by Chris Sparks—writer, former military interrogator, and veteran of more than just war—this show is brutally honest, unexpectedly hilarious, and deeply human. It’s about trauma, yes—but also childhood, masculinity, medication, and how public bathrooms can ruin a life. And it’s all told with the kind of timing that only comes once you’ve lived through it and made peace with the wreckage.

Come for the catharsis. Stay for the jokes.This isn’t a breakdown. It’s a comeback. Three nights. One story. One man who lived it to tell it.

Thank Me For My Service: A Veteran’s Cry For Help

You are Perfect by Cyndy A. Marion

“Susan Atkins was a central member of the Manson Family, known to her cohort as Sadie Mae Glutz and then simply as Sexy Sadie (after Charles Manson became convinced the Beatles had penned their White Album ballad about her). Atkins was implicated in at least eight coldblooded killings during a five-week spree in the summer of '69, including the infamous Tate/LaBianca murders. Set in Atkins' prison cell on the eve before a key moment in the Manson murder trial, You Are Perfect is a theatrical re-imagining of the Manson Family member's life and inner demons, hurtling through time and space while questioning allegations of murder and deceit.”

This play is not only for the true crime lovers, but anyone who wants to see a play that keeps you on your feet and with a strong plot twist. Take everything you known about the Manson Family and be ready to turn it upside down in this stage production of You Are Perfect by Cyndy A. Marion.
