Description

This special one-night benefit for Highways is in recognition of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Writer-producer J.M. Morris returns with a special presentation of her collection of work, 9/11: Perspectives & Pretensions, that debuted at Highways in September 2007.

For this one evening of performance with multimedia elements, Morris stages select pieces from the original presentation that reflect her signature serious to satirical take on the effects of 9/11’s aftermath on various individuals and institutions.
