The Greatest Generation Speaks written by Tom Brokaw is being adapted for stage by Dr. Harry J. Kantrovich. The production will be vignettes of letters and reflections sent to Mr. Brokaw over the years. It is a collection of stories about WW II and its heroes told from 1^st and 3^rd party perspectives.

From the Director: Like Mr. Brokaw, I feel it is important to keep history live and in proper perspective for our future generations. This is why I only write and/or direct plays that have a meaning to history. In borrowing a quote from Mr. Brokaw from the back dust cover of the book: “If we are to heed the past to prepare for the future, we should listen to these quiet voices of a generation that speaks to us of duty and honor, sacrifice and accomplishment. I hope more of their stories will be preserved and cherished as reminders of all that we owe them and all that we can learn from them.” - Dr. Harry J. Kantrovich
