Cherry Lane Alternative, in association with\u00a0The Fifth Character and Tuesday\u2019s Promise, recently presented a reading of Deborah Stein’s\u00a0Marginal Loss\u00a0at The\u00a0Clark\u00a0Studio Theatre at Lincoln Center.<\/p>\n
Stein’s play, set in the days after 9\/11, centers on the\u00a0few surviving employees of an investment firm based near the top of the Twin Towers as they\u00a0gather, shell-shocked,\u00a0in a New Jersey warehouse. They work around the clock\u00a0to reconstruct what\u2019s left of their company, but\u00a0as they struggle to recoup their losses they wonder: what does getting “back to normal” really mean?<\/p>\n
The cast for the reading featured Anjelica Bosboom, Carla Briscoe, Gilly Caulo, Addie Guidry, and Rory Max Kaplan<\/a>. Mary Geerlof directed.<\/p>\n The play had its world premiere\u00a0at the 2018 Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville. This presentation, staged\u00a0during the 25th anniversary year of the terrorist attacks,\u00a0is helping raise awareness of Tuesday\u2019s Promise and its ongoing work supporting those impacted by 9\/11 and 9\/11-related illnesses.<\/p>\n
