In Honor is guided by a collaborative leadership team that brings together artistic direction, military cultural insight, and immersive design.

Grief Dialogues founder Elizabeth Coplan created In Honor as a space where stories of military service, sacrifice, and remembrance can be explored through the arts, creating opportunities for reflection, dialogue, and community connection.

Under the direction of Dani Davis, the production has evolved into a living immersive theatre experience. Audiences move through a curated landscape of short plays, poetry, music, sculpture, and shared reflection, blending reverence, pride, and moments of warmth to explore what follows the battlefield—the memories, the silence, and the communities that remain.

Dr. Qwynn Galloway-Salazar, Army Veteran and Artist-in-Residence, brings national leadership in Veteran-centered end-of-life care, military cultural competency, and applied theatre to the project. Through storytelling, creative scholarship, and dialogue-driven community engagement, she helps ensure the experience reflects the lived realities of military families while honoring dignity, belonging, and relational healing.

Michael Bud serves as Creative Producer and Director of Design for In Honor, shaping the audience experience from arrival through reflection. Working across promotion, staging, production design, and visual storytelling, he translates the project’s artistic vision into a cohesive immersive environment that supports remembrance, connection, and collective witnessing.

Together, this leadership team creates an immersive space where art, storytelling, and community converge to honor the service and humanity of veterans and their families.
