9/11 Remembered in Proscenium Players Inc production of ‘The Guys’

Join Proscenium Players Inc. on Sept. 11 for an unforgettable theatrical experience that reminds us of the extraordinary humanity found in ordinary people and the enduring strength of compassion in the face of unimaginable loss.

Written in the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001, The Guys tells the story of Nick, a New York City fire captain struggling to write eulogies for the eight firefighters he lost, and Joan, a writer who volunteers to help him find the words.

Through humor, heartbreak, and quiet moments of humanity, the two forge an unexpected connection while honoring the lives of “the guys” whose courage and spirit continue to inspire. Based on the playwright’s real experiences, this powerful two-person drama is a moving tribute to resilience, remembrance, and the healing power of storytelling.

Starring Ken McIntyre and Danielle Pearson, the performance is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Brewery Arts Center’s Maizie (Black Box) Theater. Performances will also be on Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. and Sept. 13 at 2 p.m. Go here for ticket information.
