Upcoming Public Programs

Join us for a special, staged reading of The Guys, Anne Nelson’s acclaimed play exploring storytelling, grief, compassion, and connection in the aftermath of the attacks. Performed for the first time at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, the reading features Kevin Shea, who responded with FDNY Ladder Company 35 on 9/11, and actor Melissa Wolff. Directed by David Skeist, the reading runs 80 minutes. 

Since the 9/11 attacks, four presidential administrations have confronted the challenges of terrorism, war, and national security, shaping U.S. policy at home and abroad and greatly impacting the lives of servicemembers and their families. In his new book, All the Presidents' Wars: Twenty-Five Years of America's War on Terror, journalist and national security analyst Peter Bergen examines the decisions that defined America's response to 9/11 and the conflicts that followed. In conversation with 9/11 Memorial & Museum Director Clifford Chanin, Bergen will discuss the evolution of the war on terror, the legacy of presidential decision-making over the past quarter century, and the lessons these policies hold for the future. As we mark Veteran's Day, this program will take place as part of our Salute to Service programming.
