Remembering 9/11: A Performance and Community Dialogue

Devised by The Cast

Directed by Elliot Leffler and Michael Mellas
Sceneography by Jonathon Offutt

Created with an ensemble of undergraduate students and performed on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, Remembering 9/11 was an interactive theatre piece that took audiences through multiple spaces and culminated in a big community dialogue.  It encouraged the campus community to think together about how, when, and why we want to remember the events of 9/11/2001.

Co-directors Elliot Leffler and Michael Mellas have written in detail about the process and performance in a 2016 article in Theatre Topics

Sarah Harper has written about Remembering 9/11 in the Minnesota Daily.
