The Guys at KNOW Theatre

Set less than two weeks after terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, The Guys tells how an editor named Joan connects with a fire captain named Nick, who lost most of his men in the World Trade Center. Hes looking for a writer to help him with the eulogies he must present at their memorial services. Nick and Joan spend a long afternoon together, recalling the fallen men by recounting their virtues and their foibles, and fashioning the stories into memorials of words. The play, starring Jennifer Corby and KNOW artistic director Tim Gleason, also was produced in 2006 (as the first play in the current Carroll Street space) and 2011, to commemorate the fifth and 10th anniversaries of the attacks.
