Severe Clear
Severe Clear: September 11 from Memory to History is an original documentary drama written by students and faculty in the UWL Department of Theatre Arts. The play highlights the personal stories and sensory experiences of a collection of witnesses, survivors, and first responders in New York, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., at the Pentagon, and aboard Air Force One. It follows the day through the eyes of those who were trapped, those who attempted heroic rescues, and those who watched from the outside and tried to make sense of it all. Severe Clear is a multimedia tale of the day, drawing on hundreds of interviews and testimonials as well as excerpts from news broadcasts and recordings of air traffic control conversations. Audiences can experience the many ways in which we rose to an unimaginable challenge that day, as well as how the indiscriminate nature of tragedy impacts us all.
