Footlight Players is pleased to present “110 Stories” by Sarah Tuft. This powerful docu-play focuses on how 9/11 directly impacted the lives of twenty-six individuals who were at the catastrophic event.
This show is the directorial debut of Footlight board member, Alayna Lauritsen. Alayna has been involved with Footlight, on stage, backstage, in the tech booth, and at the director’s table since she was 14 years old. “I think it’s really important to recognize how our country was impacted by this event, on an individual level,” Alayna said. “It was really important to me to bring this story to our community.” Please join the cast and crew of “110 Stories” for this powerful first-person telling of rescuers and survivors at ground zero on 9/11. Please note that the script includes strong language and descriptions of violence.
