In 2001, I was employed by The Spokesman-Review, one of the last family-owned newspapers in the U.S.. On the morning of September 11th, my husband woke me with a cup of coffee and the words, "Looks like it's going to be a busy news day."

"Why's that?" I asked.

"Someone flew a plane into the World Trade Center."

We turned on the TV just in time to see a second plane fly into the south tower. I don't remember when I got to work that day, just that I didn't care whether I went at all. It was indeed a busy day. The newspaper published a special edition, the first in decades. Executives from every department went down to the streets of Spokane and sold it on the sidewalks downtown.

And America was never the same.

Everyone out of their teens has a 9/11 story, whether they watched the towers fall over and over on television, or lost someone in one of the attacks. We'd like to hear yours.

If you have a Facebook account, c lick here to share your story. If you're on Twitter, click here. Or join us this Saturday evening for our post show discussion.

What's YOUR story?

Maria Caprile, Artistic Director

On Saturday September 11th, Winding Road Theater Ensemble will perform a reading of Hole in the Sky at 7:30 pm at the Cabaret Theater at 330 Scott Avenue. This reading is open to the public, at no charge.

Hole in the Sky, a play by Reed McColm, depicts the last 102 minutes of the lives of some of those trapped above the point of impact, inspired by actual people and events. The play was a finalist for the Pen Award in 2003. It is being performed this September 11th at numerous theaters in the US and Canada.

Hole in the Sky is directed by Artistic Director Maria Caprile, and stars Denise Blum*, Tony Caprile*, Gianbari Deebom, Damian Garcia, Tyler Gastelum*, Mike Saxon, and Myani Watson. There will be no ticketing for this event. In order to reserve your seat, please sign up at the link below. All reservations will be released ten minutes before curtain. (Reservations are recommended, but not required.)

In order to ensure the safety of our community, we respectfully require all patrons to wear masks while in the theater.

Winding Road would like to thank our sponsor, Arizona Theater Company, for their support and generosity in providing the theater space for the Tucson community to join and remember this pivotal moment in American history.

While the reading is free, donations are encouraged. Proceeds will be shared with Tunnel to Towers, a non-profit organization that supports Military and First Responders and their families in need of housing and other assistance.
