United 93 Actor to visit Flight 93 Temporary Memorial

David Alan Basche and his wife, award-winning actress Alysia Reiner (Sideways, Speed Grieving) will visit the Flight 93 Temporary memorial tomorrow afternoon at 4 pm. Basche played Todd Beamer in the award-winning movie United 93 and said in an interview with the Mountain Playhouse recently that he learned everything he knows about the September 11th attacks from his experience of working on the movie. Basche and his wife will be met at the Memorial by National Park Service interpretive rangers and Donna Glessner, Secretary of the Friends of Flight 93 National Memorial. While Basche is in Somerset County, he will also meet with Kathie Shaffer of the National Park Services's Oral History project to record his September 11th story and his thoughts about portraying Todd Beamer in United 93.

Basche and his wife are in town to read the roles of Nick and Joan in the benefit fundraising readings of The Guys which will occur at the Mountain Playhouse this Saturday at 3 pm and 8 pm and Sunday at 3 pm. The cost of entry is $35 per person of which all proceeds will benefit the Flight 93 National Memorial. Firemen may purchase tickets for only $25. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Mountain Playhouse Box Office at 814 629 9201, option 1.
