Performing 11-13 September 2026 | Polanentheater, Amsterdam
By Midge Guerrera. Directed by George Hansel
Our Way Productions proudly presents Midge Guererra’s Email: 9/12, in remembrance of 25 years since the attack on the World Trade Center’s “Twin Towers” in New York City. The event sent shockwaves of grief and pain across the nation, yet also led Americans to collectively discover their strength, hope, and determination to recover and rebuild together. During one of the most horrific tragedies the country has ever faced, their keyboards kept them connected:
Email: 9/12 is a moving theatrical production which demonstrates how sharing, grieving, and even allowing a spark of humor to travel through cyberspace helped America endure the painful aftermath of 9/11. Unnamed actors play all the characters that responded to Margaret's email of thoughts and feelings about that day. These responses create a powerful portrait that reaches into the hearts of those who were there, those who had loved ones there, and those of us who will always be able to tell you exactly where we were when the first plane struck the North Tower at 8:46 AM on September 11, 2001.

“Events like that should never happen—but if they do, they must never be forgotten.
And Midge brought me back.
The same tears. The same chills. Just 25 years older.”
“A great vessel for younger generations to learn about the emotional implications of 9/11”
“Using emails is a clever device for a contemporary epistolary play. It will help those who were too young or not born yet to experience what we went through. ”
“A moving, and very human work that captures the horror and the immediate aftermath with graceful theatricality. Highly recommended.”
