"WTC View" Onstage at 59e59 Theaters

"WTC View" Onstage at 59e59 Theaters The last thing I did on the night of September 10, 2001 was put a roommate ad on the Village Voice website for my 2BR apartment in SoHo.

The film version of "WTC View" (starring Michael Urie) is now available on iTunes and Amazon: https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/wtc-view/id954940023
https://www.amazon.com/WTC-View-Michael-Urie/dp/B0 The next morning I awoke to sirens and, in less than a couple hours, the world changed. "WTC View" is my first full-length play and is inspired by this true story. In the play, Eric, a downtown photog

rapher, spends the weeks after the attack on the World Trade Center meeting potential roommate candidates for his apartment which used to have a view of the Twin Towers. Through Eric's struggle to find a roommate, deal with his ex-boyfriend and generally keep his sanity, the play reveals the untold story of life in lower Manhattan during the strange days of September 2001. This show premiered in the 2003 Fringe Festival and, with only six performances, had a profound impact on audiences and critics alike. A few years later, I adapted it into an indie feature film, starring Michael Urie (ABC's UGLY BETTY). Now, as we approach the 10th anniversary of 9/11, "WTC View" is returning to the stage for its off-Broadway premiere at the prestigious 59E59 Theaters. It's will be part of their 5th Annual Americas Festival, featuring new works by American playwrights, running from May 19-June 12. But the only way this will happen is if we reach our fundraising goal. So please....give what you can and help us bring this unique theatrical event to New York audiences this spring.

Going through some old boxes, I found this perfectly preserved brochure from my first visit to the World Trade Center in 1975. Some amazing panoramas from the top reminded me of going up to that windy roof the first time, which inspired some of the writing in WTC View. Great memories....
