their Boston-based collaborator </span></font></b></strong><strong><b><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial">Barry Brodsky</span></font></b></strong><strong><b><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:normal"> – in
person, that is. Their intense collaboration has all been done by way of the
Internet, where they have virtually teamed up to tackle the creation of their
war-is-hell drama. <i><span style="font-style:italic">The Boys of Winter</span></i>
scenario harkens back to the Vietnam War era, yet it easily and eerily could
read in the present tense:</span></font></b></strong><br>
<i><span style="font-style:italic">Half a world away from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Vietnam</st1:country-region></st1:place> three high school seniors
are playing hockey ... for their lives. The year is 1966. The place is <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Minnesota</st1:state></st1:place>. Upon
graduation they will either go to college or end up in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Vietnam</st1:country-region></st1:place>. Watch the story of these
boys and those around them as their chances dwindle and the miles to war become
fewer</span></i>.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-style:italic">The Boys of Winter </span></i>is a memory
play about a <st1:country-region w:st="on">Vietnam</st1:country-region> veteran
reflecting on his youth in the <st1:place w:st="on">Midwest</st1:place> of the
60’s while reconciling demons in the present. Clearly there is a parallel
to returning veterans from <st1:country-region w:st="on">Iraq</st1:country-region>
and the tragic lessons of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Vietnam</st1:country-region></st1:place>,
never learned and repeating themselves 40 years later.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-style:italic">The Boys of Winter</span></i> delves into
the lives of what could be any young man or woman compelled or forced to head
out and “defend this nation” by fighting on foreign soil. If and
when they return, it is a matter of debate as to whether these soldiers and
their loved ones are actually able to move on in a positive manner from their
combat duties. <i><span style="font-style:italic">The Boys of Winter</span></i>
wrestles with the lessons learned from our nation’s <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Vietnam</st1:country-region></st1:place> experience. The playwrights
are keen on provoking current audiences into becoming more aware of those who
are now returning in droves from <st1:country-region w:st="on">Iraq</st1:country-region>
and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Afghanistan</st1:country-region></st1:place>.
Instant recall about our current engagement should not only be triggered when
we’re driving under an overpass decorated with signs of “welcome
home.”<br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-style:italic">The Boys of Winter</span></i> world premiere
is being directed by <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Bridget Kathleen
O’Leary</span></b>, whose father served in Vietnam, and features the
performance work of <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Sarah Carlin</span></b>, <b><span style="font-weight:bold">John Grenier-Ferris</span></b>, <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Michael Jorgensen</span></b>, <b><span style="font-weight:bold">John Oxenford</span></b>, <b><span style="font-weight:

<br>
<b><u><span style="font-weight:bold">More background information</span></u></b>:<br>
<br>
<b><i><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic">The Boys of Winter</span></i></b>
had humble beginnings in 1991 in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Los
Angeles</st1:city></st1:place> as a story titled <i><span style="font-style:
italic">The Boys From Minnesota</span></i>. <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Dean
B. Kaner</span></b> (from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Scottsdale</st1:city>,
<st1:state w:st="on">AZ</st1:state></st1:place>) met <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Eric Small</span></b> (from LA), both writers. Kaner
discussed a story based on his friendship with some classmates from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Minnesota</st1:state></st1:place> in 1966. Small
liked the idea and crafted a story with some new characters with dramatic
twists and turns.<br>
<br>
Later a screenplay was optioned by an independent production company in 1994,
but producer financing never materialized. Kaner and Small retained the rights.
An opportunity came by way of a drama teacher in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:city></st1:place> in 1999 named Jane McSpadden, who
fell in love with the story. She had grown up in the <st1:country-region w:st="on">Vietnam</st1:country-region>
era of the mid-60’s and lost some high school classmates in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Vietnam</st1:country-region></st1:place>.
The antiwar theme stuck in McSpadden’s mind, so much so that she told
Kaner if he and Small could adapt the screenplay to the stage, she would
perform it at her high school. The play was written and<i><span style="font-style:italic"> </span></i>renamed <i><span style="font-style:italic">The
Boys of Winter</span></i>.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-style:italic">The Boys of Winter</span></i> became an
experimental play performed in <st1:city w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:city> in 1999,
then later in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Los Angeles</st1:city></st1:place>
in 2000. The audiences reveled in what they saw on stage, but the authors
wanted to eliminate any remnants of a screenplay. Particularly spurred on by
all the developments in the wake of September 11<sup>th</sup>, Kaner began
searching the Internet in 2006 for a playwright who could capture the story
they created, yet write a completely different play with a stronger more
universal antiwar theme. With the unpopular war in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Iraq</st1:country-region>
on the fast track, it was time to connect the dots from <st1:country-region w:st="on">Vietnam</st1:country-region> to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Iraq</st1:country-region></st1:place>.<br>
<br>
Fifty playwrights’ works were evaluated and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Boston</st1:city></st1:place> native <b><span style="font-weight:
bold">Barry Brodsky</span></b>, who served in the Army during the Vietnam War
and is currently the Director of the Veterans Upward Bound program at UMASS
Boston</span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial">, </span></font><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">agreed to
rewrite the play. The entire development process was done by the three
playwrights via the Internet and several conference calls. Although <i><span style="font-style:italic">The Boys of Winter</span></i> was born in a virtual
world, the story is very much based in reality.<br>
<br>
In April 2007, the play had successful readings at the former Jimmy
Tingle’s Off Broadway space in <st1:city w:st="on">Somerville</st1:city>,
<st1:state w:st="on">MA</st1:state>, and then went on to become runner-up in <i><span style="font-style:italic">The Last Play Standing</span></i> competition in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Chicago</st1:city></st1:place> in October 2007.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-weight:bold">Barry Brodsky</span></b> was born, raised,
and educated in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Boston</st1:city></st1:place>.
His stage plays have been produced in many cities; two have been published in
anthologies, and a third, <i><span style="font-style:italic">All Other Nights</span></i>
was recently published. Two of his screenplays have been optioned by an
independent <st1:city w:st="on">Boston</st1:city> producer, and he teaches
screenwriting classes at UMASS Boston and at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Emerson</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">College</st1:placetype></st1:place>.
Brodsky is the Director of the Veterans Upward Bound program at UMASS Boston, a
pre-collegiate program for veterans seeking to go to college. He received a BA
in Politics from UMASS Boston and an MFA in Theatre Arts from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Brandeis</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place>.
Brodsky served in the Army from 1967-70 during the Vietnam War and is a member
of the Smedley Butler Brigade, Veterans for Peace.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-weight:bold">Dean B. Kaner</span></b>, who served in the <em><i><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-style:normal">USAF Reserve</span></font></i></em>,
began writing plays out of college. He co-wrote and co-produced <i><span style="font-style:italic">The Night of Broken Glass</span></i> with award
winning playwright the late Alice Josephs. Kaner also co-wrote the play <i><span style="font-style:italic">Hardball</span></i> based on his grandfather’s
life in a semi-pro baseball league in northern <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Wisconsin</st1:state></st1:place>. It premiered in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Memphis</st1:city></st1:place> at Playwrights’ Forum on May
30, 2008. Switching from drama to comedy, he co-wrote the play <i><span style="font-style:italic">Pets Are Human Too</span></i>. Kaner’s present
screenplay credits include <i><span style="font-style:italic">The Ditz Sisters</span></i>
under representation by Cary Koslov and Associates, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Los Angeles</st1:city></st1:place>, a WGA literary agency. He
resides in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Scottsdale</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">AZ</st1:state></st1:place> with his family.<br>
<br>
Peter Bogdanovich was an early mentor to <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Eric
Small</span></b> while he studied film at UCLA where he graduated with honors.
For the next decade Small worked as a first assistant director in television
and film. He joined the Director’s Guild of America and was fortunate to
work with many talented and influential directors. All the while, Small
was a screenwriter looking for the proverbial “break,” which came
with the sale of his original screenplay <i><span style="font-style:italic">Rubicon</span></i>
to Touchstone Pictures. Assignments followed for the studios. One screenplay, <i><span style="font-style:italic">Blue Blazes,</span></i> was awarded the Gold Medal
for Best Screenplay at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Houston</st1:city></st1:place>’s
International Film Competition. Small debuted as a director with <i><span style="font-style:italic">The Dust Factory</span></i>, a film he produced from
his original screenplay for MGM/UA. He followed with <i><span style="font-style:
italic">The Probe</span></i>, a one-hour drama he co-created for the FX Network
and 20<sup>th</sup> Century Fox. Most recently, Small is the co-creator of the
Emmy-nominated and WGA award-winning Showtime original series <i><span style="font-style:italic">Penn & Teller: Bullshit!</span></i> He lives in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Los Angeles</st1:city></st1:place> with his
family.<br>
