The Guys
Huntington University Theatre Company presents The Guys by Anne Nelson.
September 10 at 7:30 p.m. and September 11 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Performed in the Studio Theatre - Merillat Centre for the Arts.
Based on a true story, less than two weeks after the September 11th attacks, New Yorkers are still in shock. One of them, an editor named Joan, receives an unexpected phone call on behalf of Nick, a fire captain who has lost most of his men in the attack. He’s looking for a writer to help him with the eulogies he must present at their memorial services. Nick and Joan spend a long afternoon together, recalling the fallen men through recounting their virtues and their foibles, and fashioning the stories into memorials of words. As they make their way through the emotional landscape of grief, they draw on humor, tango, the appreciation of craft in all its forms—and the enduring bonds of common humanity. This production features HU faculty as Nick and Joan.
Parental guidance is suggested due to tone and potentially sensitive subject matter (terrorist attacks, death).
