“Summertree,” a brief moment in a young man’s memory, was first produced in 1968, by the Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center in NYC, and was winner of the Vernon Rice Award.  The play is a joyous expression of the good things in life and powerful indictment of war and the senseless waste which it can bring.
