Julius Ceaser Film Adaptation set in modern war period. Trailer followed by proof of concept. Act IV, Scene 3. Performed by Christopher Loverro, Nathan Nonhof, Hailee Lipscomb. Directed by Jordan Michael Martinez. Warriors For Peace Theatre.

A battlefield doesn’t always look like a map with lines and targets. Sometimes it’s a living room at 2 a.m., a mind replaying scenes on a loop, or a rehearsal hall where a single monologue finally cracks something open. We sit down with actor, veteran, and advocate Chris Loverro to trace a life shaped by service—Army Civil Affairs, a decade in Berkeley law enforcement, a brutal line‑of‑duty injury—and a rebirth through the arts that became Warriors for Peace Theater. Chris shares how empathy became his most reliable discipline, from de‑escalation on the street to humanitarian work in war zones. He talks about the night PTSD nearly took his life, the next morning’s decision to seek help, and the unexpected peace he found years later in movement and Shakespeare. That spark grew into a free training hub for veterans and civilians, where classes are safe, rigorous, and designed for catharsis. We explore gender‑bent casting, why Shakespeare still lands 400 years on, and how shared stages narrow the civil–military divide. Chris recounts a powerful day of fellowship with a Muslim community in Los Angeles—dance, text, and a meal—to stand against Islamophobia and remind us that art is a common language. We also dig into performance nutrition. Sponsor Essential Provisions offers organic, shelf‑stable meals with clean ingredients and a long shelf life, a stark contrast to sugary standard-issue rations. Chris has lived on MREs around the world and explains why better fuel matters for readiness, recovery, and long-term health. The conversation closes with a bold vision: bringing American and Vietnamese veterans together to perform Shakespeare in Vietnam, joined by younger generations, turning former battle lines into shared lines of dialogue. If you care about mental health, veteran reintegration, community healing, or the craft that turns pain into purpose, this story will move you. Hear how art, empathy, and real food create a blueprint for resilience—and then help us spread it.

Warriors For Peace theatre raises awareness about tolerance by assembling 28 veterans and civilians to recite the monologue written by Shakespeare for “The Book Of Sir Thomas More". Known as the 400 year banned monologue, Shakespeare's plea for empathy was a critique of how people at the time were treating minorities and immigrants. This resulted in the Queen's censor banning the play. The piece is timeless. Warriors For Peace has a simple message: America is great BECAUSE of its diversity!
