Production Snapshot

On September 12, 2001, Waverly and Andrew decide to go through with their blind date, despite the obvious shadow caused by the events the day before. This dark comedy is set amidst the ongoing news coverage of the event, Waverly’s distracted worry over being unable to reach her twin sister in NYC, the invasion of Waverly’s odd neighbors, and a visit from Waverly’s great aunt, Joyce Carol Oates (played by a sock puppet).

“…a poignant, thought-provoking, and yes, essentially amusing piece on the subject [of 9/11]. Indeed, the play offers a lesson in how the theater can deal with such a momentous event without being trite, maudlin, trivial, or disrespectful.” —Variety.
