SYNOPSIS
Written by Sarah Tuft
Directed by Marsha L. Amato-Greenspan
Auditions: July 18th and July 19th at 6:00pm
You must register to audition.
From the first crash at the Towers to a last goodbye at Ground Zero, Sarah Tuft’s 110 STORIES is a moment-by-moment journey through 9/11 as told by eyewitnesses, survivors, and recovery workers. These “everyday people” include a photojournalist, a mother, an ironworker, a nurse, a massage therapist, and a homeless man who saved lives that day too. Their unflinching, freakedout, and sometimes funny stories take us back to when 9/11 was unimaginable, capturing the shock and horror of the day as well as the resilience of New York City in the tragedy's aftermath. 110 STORIES memorializes September 11th without politics or hyperbole. Instead, it restores the human side to history by honoring our capacity for compassion. Performances are via Live Stream September 11th @ 8PM and September 12th @ 2PM
