25 years later, the memories live on.
On September 11, 2001, countless lives were changed forever. Life After 9/11: 25 Years Later brings six powerful, firsthand perspectives together to explore what happened after the headlines faded—and how the experience of 9/11 continues to shape the lives of those directly impacted.

Life After 9/11: 25 Years Later
Created by playwright and director Donna Kaz, this moving performance is presented by the actual people whose lives were changed by 9/11, including an FDNY first responder, FDNY widows, World Trade Center survivors, and a recovery worker.
The six participants—Brenda Berkman, Ann Van Hine, Kate Richardson, Gerry Bogacz, Desiree Bouchat, and Anthony Palmeri—share their personal experiences of survival, loss, recovery, and life in the years that followed.
The performance will also feature a piece of World Trade Center tower cladding, gifted to Donna Kaz by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 2010.
This is an opportunity to listen, reflect, and bear witness to the stories of people who lived through one of the defining events of our time.
