Arts in the Armed Forces is a non-profit founded by Oscar and Tony nominee and former marine Driver (recently seen on Broadway in Burn This). The organization's mission is to use the arts to enable more open dialogue between the military and civilians, as well as within the military itself, by bringing free artistic experiences to military communities. Tucker, who is married to Driver, serves as artistic director.
Last year, Arts in the Armed Forces celebrated its tenth anniversary with a ready of Sam Shepard's True West starring Driver and Michael Shannon.
