}}Arts in the Armed Forces, Inc. (AITAF) is a non-profit based in Brooklyn, New York that brings high-quality arts programming to active-duty service members, veterans, military support staff and their families around the world free of charge.[1]

The organization was founded by actors Adam Driver and Joanne Tucker in 2006.[2][3] The non-profit became an official incorporation in 2008.

AITAF serves all branches of the military at US installations domestically and abroad. They choose content that features diverse themes, ages, ethnicities and experiences to create a complex and unique experience for our audiences.[1]

Importantly, after each of AITAF’s events, the artists interact with the audience through a question and answer session.[1]

AITAF’s goal is not simply to provide an enjoyable evening, but to use the powerfully emotional shared experience of the arts to start conversations capable of bridging the divides between military and civilian, service member and family member, the world of the arts and the world of practical action.[1]

The Bridge Award

In 2017, The Bridge Award was established in honor of AITAF's tenth anniversary with the purpose of recognizing an emerging playwright of exceptional talent within the United States military. The annual award consists of a $10,000 prize, and an AITAF produced reading of the winning work.

In addition to bringing world-class theater to the military, AITAF is committed to supporting and sharing the talents of those who serve. This Award will offer a deserving current military service member or veteran artist important connections with the theater community and access to developmental resources, helping to facilitate a deeper understanding and more active dialogue between military and civilian communities.

The Bridge Award winner is chosen by a selection committee, judged each year by a notable playwright. Past judges include Pulitzer Prize winners Suzan-Lori Parks and Tony Kushner.[6]


Student Veteran Internship Program

In the summer of 2018, AITAF launched an internship program for student veterans. AITAF is committed to providing work and learning opportunities to veterans currently enrolled full-time in a college or university. By offering a summer housing stipend comparable to what a student might receive as part of the GI Bill, AITAF aims to create a rigorous, competitive program that offers a unique opportunity for a summer intern to relocate to New York City for the duration of the internship.

They hire a new student veteran every summer, spring, and fall.

2018 Summer Intern: Daní Rodriguez

2019 Spring Intern: Shyendra Chandrasena

News about AITAF

AITAF was the subject of a short documentary produced by Vice News in 2015. The documentary chronicles the organization's first trip to perform in the Middle East at Camp Arifjan, a United States Army installation in Kuwait.[7][8][9]

In 2016, Driver gave a TED Talk that discussed the non-profit at length and which ended with an AITAF reading.[10]
