In the aftermath of 9/11, a New York City fire captain struggles to prepare eulogies for many of his men who died on that terrible day. He talks about these men--who they were, why they were firefighters, and what they meant to him and the community—with a writer who has volunteered to help him fashion the stories to be told at the memorial services, and the two embark on a journey of friendship, tango, and enduring humanity.
Under the direction of Don DeVeux, Rita Broderick has been cast in the role of Joan and Michael Ingram as Nick.
“The Guys” runs 75 minutes and is performed without intermission. At its conclusion Firehouse Theatre will present “Aftermath.” Aftermath” will consists of 15 minutes of unrehearsed staged readings of stories written by and about Firefighters. Firehouse will also draw from the collection of poetry used as therapy in the 9/11 aftermath.
Anne Nelson is a widely-produced playwright and screenwriter. Her 2001 play, "The Guys," became a 2002 feature film starring Sigourney Weaver and Anthony LaPaglia, which received the National Board of Review award for Excellence in Filmmaking. Nelson is a graduate of Yale University, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and the recipient of a 2005 Guggenheim Fellowship for work on media and Nazi Germany.
This commemorative run at the Firehouse Theater marks the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
