”The Guys” a play by Anne Nelson; and “A Salute To the Hollis Street Firehouse”
Amazing Theater proudly presents a gem of a play about firefighting, life, death, bravery, and love, and a multimedia presentation about the Hollis St. Firehouse.The Play: Shortly after the September 11th attacks, a fire captain who lost most of his men in the attack called a New York City editor to help him write the eulogies he was to present. The two spend an afternoon recalling the fallen men’s virtues and foibles and fashioning the stories into beautiful and touching memorials. They discover friendship and a shared love for the city’s spirit while drawing on humor, the tango (!), an appreciation of craft in all its forms, and the enduring bonds of common humanity. Based on a true story. Directed by Norma McGrathThe Presentation: Filmed interviews with former firefighters, historic photos, and stories about the Hollis Street Firehouse will be on display from early through mid-October.
