Sarah Tuft’s powerful and humanizing account of New York City’s darkest day is the latest addition in the On Book! Readers Theatre series at San Juan Community Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. and 28 at 7:30 p.m.

“110 Stories” captures the grief and resilience of New York City in the wake of Sept. 11 through the words of those who experienced it directly – not only the firefighters and police, but the ironworkers, chaplains, canine handlers, nurses, photojournalists, and the homeless who witnessed the horrific events and saved lives that day, too. Together these unflinching first-person testimonials offer catharsis by revealing the hope, humor, and compassion that emerged in the midst of this tragedy.

Directed by Julie Laidlaw, the reading features more than 23 islanders, including:

Cole Arendt, Robert Carrieri, Eric Concord, John Cornell, Pete Dawson, Scott Dow, Peter Goddy, Candace Gossen, Lynda Guernsey, James Gull, Carolyn Haugen, Carrie Jewett, Keith Keyser, Julie Laidlaw, Deb Langhans, Trudy Loucks, Corinne Morrell, Pat Rishel, Kes Stephens, Ted Soares, Greg Swinford, Paul Walsh and Tori Zehner.

Doors open at 7 p.m. with festival seating in the Gubelman Theatre. Admission is free.
