Hmmmm.....I was working at my office at the Indiana Department of Labor. We were on Central Time then, so reports started coming in around 8 am....
I remembered the reading about the small plane that crashed into the Empire State Building in the 1940's...and thought that is what must have happened.... Then things got worse. Someone pushed a television set into an office, and we watched. They also sent us home around 1 pm. I had to drive past the airport to get home, and I was a little worried.
It was a terrible day....and like DR MATTH and DR CP ... I really am not interested in watching any "docudramas" or "remembrances" of the events. Being there was BAD enough.
We were also in the middle of a two-week run of THE ODD COUPLE. I was playing Felix. We had a scheduled pick up rehearsal that night, that I went to. Some cast members were missing. We had a brief "executive committee" meeting, and decided the show would go on Wed-Sat as scheduled.
But those were very difficult shows to do....but the audiences all said..."Thanks....we need to get back to as normal as possible..." As if we ever could.
