An all-star cast joins together for a special benefit reading of 110 Stories, by New York playwright Sarah Tuft, which weaves more than thirty personal stories recorded in the aftermath of September 11th.
110 Stories was created to preserve these personal first hand accounts and truths against the distortions of media, sensationalism and politics.
A blend of characters allows for thirty-five perspectives to be shared, including those of an iron worker, cop, homeless couple, photojournalist, K9 handler, doctor, body worker, chaplain and volunteer. A firefighter leads us on the journey through September 11th and into the recovery. The cast includes:
Maria Conchita Alonso (Caught, Saints & Sinners, Broadway’s Kiss of the Spider Woman)
Ed Asner (Up, Elf, The Mary Tyler Moore Show)
Michael Beach (Third Watch, True Romance, Soul Food)
