The Work & Reentry Experience at A Chance to Advance 2024 was an unforgettable, impactful performance - this musical and storytelling fusion featured a partnership with Dominick Farinacci and Towards Employment. Dominick is a world class musician who travels the world but is a true Clevelander, always coming back to support our city. Since 2016, Dominick has partnered with U.S. Army veteran Jaymes Poling to create Modern Warrior Live, a unique, moving theatrical experience that mixes first-person narrative with music and multimedia to chronicle the veteran deployment experience and subsequent transition back home. With funding from the Fowler Foundation, Dominick partnered with 3 TE alumni and staff to create a storytelling and jazz fusion piece around the reentry experience – the challenges and individual triumphs that members of our community face.
