110 Stories, portrayals of real-life 9/11 Survivors


 

Every American older than 25 has harrowing memories of the events on September 11, 2001.  Sarah Tuft found a way to turn those painful memories into positive reflections   She wrote an inspiring original play called "110 Stories" about the people who became inadvertent heroes that day.  

 

Tuft describes her play as "the human side of history, without politics or agenda, giving voice to those who experienced [9/11] directly."
