Out of the Blue at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Sep 11

Laurel Mill Playhouse presents:
OUT OF THE BLUE – Reflections from Ground Zero
Written and Directed by Lorraine Brooks
Produced by Maureen Rogers

Wednesday, September 11, 2024 – 8PM

Join us for a moving presentation in the form of a staged reading of quotes from First Responders to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. These quotes are taken from interviews with men and women who were part of the rescue and recovery mission after the attacks and subsequent collapse of the Twin Towers and surrounding buildings. A group of talented and dedicated actors will recreate the words of police, firefighters, and volunteers, as they navigated the overwhelming and dangerous tasks of searching for survivors, putting out fires, and evacuating Lower Manhattan to get citizens to safety.

Tickets are $20 General Admission and must be prepurchaed online. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Gear Up Foundation, founded by a retired NY Firefighter. Gear Up Foundation supplies fire and emergency equipment to underserved communities and third world countries.

THE STORY: Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after twenty-two years of child-raising in the suburbs. Greg’s career as a financial trader is winding down, while Kate’s career, as a public-school English teacher, is beginning to offer her more opportunities. Greg brings home a dog he found in the park—or that has found him—bearing only the name “Sylvia” on her name tag. A street-smart mixture of Lab and poodle, Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife. She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn’t understand the relationship between man and dog. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series of touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives.

Adults: $20, Children 18 and under, Seniors 65 and over, and active duty military: $15
