I just found out about this play, 110 Stories, a two night charity event with a star-studded cast to honor the tenth anniversary of 9/11. I have goose-bumps. Get tickets now. I just did.
You can buy tickets here. All net proceeds go to benefit the New York Says Thank You Foundation, whose mission is to commemorate the love and support given to New Yorkers by Americans from all across the country in the days, weeks, and months following 9/11, by sending volunteers from New York City each year on the 9/11 Anniversary in order to help rebuild communities around the United States affected by natural or man-made disasters.
Here is the description from the website:
"110 STORIES weaves first-person accounts - selected from hundreds collected right after September 11th - into a journey that recalls our wounds as well as works towards healing them. It’s the human side of history, without politics and agenda, giving voice to those who experienced 9/11 directly... a firefighter, homeless couple, cop, iron-worker, massage therapist, chaplain, K9 handler, a mother, an elderly bulldog, a South American photojournalist and others. Together, these accounts shine a light into the human spirit - revealing hope, humor and compassion in the midst of tragedy."
