More about The Gift of Peace

Kicking off a cross-country tour starting in Los Angeles in January, The Gift of Peace educated and inspired audiences from Phoenix to Washington DC to support non-partisan legislation currently in Congress to create a national, cabinet-level Department of Peace. The entire process has been documented by Emmy nominated, DGA Award winning director Tasha Oldham, whose film will explore whether everyday people can inspire a change in the direction of our country at this time in American history.

“The idea for this series of monologues grew from my belief that a Department of Peace is exactly what this country needs,” said playwright Stacey Martino. “Regardless of one’s politics, religion or race we have all experienced a moment when a deeper calling for a more peaceful world arose within us, even if only for a moment. I wrote The Gift of Peace to remind each of us to see part of ourselves in everyone, so that perhaps that moment might be extended and sustained.”

The Department of Peace and Nonviolence will be a vital part of the U.S. Federal Government. It’s primary function will be to research, articulate and facilitate proven nonviolent solutions to domestic and international conflict.
The Gift of Peace is welcomed back to Los Angeles with a very special reading on February 28th at 8:00 PM with a group of high-profile performers. University of California Los Angeles’ Freud Playhouse will host the evening, which will raise awareness, funds and media attention for the project.
