Artistic Query: ‘The Draft’ Looking for Backers

The creators of a new play, “The Draft”, which is based on interviews from the 2011 book, Called to Serve: Stories of the Men and Women Confronted by the Vietnam War Draft by Tom Weiner, are trying to raise the funds to mount a performance in September in Boston and western Massachusetts. The play includes the stories of men who were drafted and went on to serve in the Vietnam War, as well as those who got out of the draft with medical deferments and other methods, including fleeing to Canada.
