Each year in September, media professionals, reporters and editors alike, in both electronic and print formats, are challenged when preparing memorial coverage for the September 11 Terrorist Attacks. This event is perhaps the most significant episode in recent American history and deserves the annual review scheduled by news, feature and public interest programming. The question is how to present provocative conversation while maintaining respect for the 911 legacy. With the utmost respect for this tragic event, the American Repertory Theater of WNY, Inc is proud to be presenting the powerful and compelling The Guys, written by Anne Nelson, to start the 2012-13 season.

Together, Danny and Rocker filled me in on everything about being on the line, from what it was like to work with Michael Bennett and Marvin Hamlisch to why the show is still relatable some 37 years later.
