Imagine you are an 18-year-old college freshman, resident of NYC for one week. On your way to class, you are swept into the chaos of the World Trade Center’s twin tower attack. For Liz, this nightmare is the truth.

Remembering the 9-11 disaster 20 years later, this one person performance examines the concept of memory: where it lives, what it does to us, and what it means. Join Liz as she shares what it is like to be a witness to the horrible day that changed the world.
