The attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 affected people in very different ways. Still, nearly 17 years later, the images, sounds, and feelings are still pulling at many of us. NEW YORK depicts the reactions of 15 individuals to the events of that day as all the characters all speak to a central psychiatrist. Using a setting that immerses the audience completely, we hope to help in the healing process whether your just beginning the journey, are in the middle of it, or toward acceptance of what happened that fateful day.
