Gallery 7 Theatre presents 110 Stories by Sarah Tuft, a powerful exploration of the
9/11 tragedy as seen through the eyes of emergency responders and NYC residents.
Despite the unimaginable events that changed North America forever, a story of hope,
compassion and even humour surges from the ashes of New York City's darkest day,
culminating in a powerful and cathartic experience that celebrates the human capacity
to rise above adversity and tragedy in a unifying effort to save lives. This site-specific
experience runs May 1 & 2, 6 - 9, 2015 @ 7:30PM with discount matinees May 2 & 9
@ 2:00 PM at The Reach Gallery & Museum (32388 Veterans Way).
Tickets & info at House of James: 604-852-3701 or online at www.gallery7theatre.com.
