January 6, 2019. Tonya Lee Stott Brown, Writer Director of the drama, comedy and musical play “Coming Home”. The show was presented to the public for free on 2018 Veterans Day at the First Baptist Church of Maryville, Tennessee. The theme of the show was faith-based recovery of a WWII combat veteran who returned home with chronic depression, PTSD and readjustment conditions. Tonya worked with VTVT to adapt the play to include suicidal ideation and allowed VTVT’s President to address the epidemic of suicide minutes before the play began. Over $3,000.00 donations were accepted after the play and presented to VTVT to help with their 15 veteran programs. VTVT was blessed to have found 8 individuals who were currently suicidal and looking for help! Thanks Tonya for saving lives.
