ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, we remember the heroes who ran toward the danger and the lives forever changed by their loss.
In this special bonus episode of Alter Eagle, we step inside Butler Little Theater's 85th season opener, The Guys, a powerful play by Anne Nelson based on the true stories of New York City firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11.
The Guys follows Joan, a journalist, and Nick, a New York City fire captain who has lost eight of his men. Together, they work through grief, memory, and the difficult task of putting words to the lives of the men they loved and lost. Originally produced just months after the attacks, The Guys is rooted in simplicity: the story of two people struggling to express grief and compassion in the midst of catastrophe.
In this episode, we hear from the people bringing this story to life at Butler Little Theater and explore why, 25 years later, these stories still matter.
