To commemorate the 12th anniversary of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, Sarah Tuft's prestigious and storied play '110 Stories', will be presented in the form of first hand portrayals in Los Angeles on Sept. 11th at The Nate Holden Performing Arts Center.
"I'm delighted to bring this to Los Angeles for the second time. Sarah's compelling play defines the victory of the human spirit over adversity despite all of our differences, and in honor of those who are no longer with us," said Savante, who is the show's Lead Producer in addition to being a longtime, original member of the cast.
A love letter to New York City, 110 Stories shares the stories and perspectives of those who lived through the experience.
