Tickets are now on sale for The Guys, a one-act play by Anne Nelson that pays tribute to firefighters and commemorates the 10th anniversary of the events of September 11.
Tammy Lamonte, director of The Delta Grand Theatre, directs this moving work of drama about the place of a fire captain and writer in society, the potential power of words as healing tools, andhow extraordinary events impact ordinary people. Assistant director is Charlie Roy and in charge of lighting and sound is Gino Lamonte.
The Guys tells the story of Nick, a New York City fire captain who has lost many men in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. He comes to see Joan, a writer, so she can help him write eulogies for his fallen men.
This play tells the story of unspoken heroes who have pledged to serve unselfishly in any circumstance. This is not a story of the twin towers or burning buildings but a story of our firefighters who put themselves in harm's way each time they go out in order for us to be safe.
We learn about the firefighters and catch a glimpse of what happens in the firehouse. The Guys will make you feel a range of emotions. While tugging at your heart strings it will also make you laugh and leave the theatre with an understanding that we are surrounded by heroes every day.
In addition to the characters of Nick and Joan, portrayed by Cody Daigle and Jody Lamonte Powell respectively, several local firefighters will be present in cameo roles to represent the fallen men depicted in the play.
The play will be presented Sept. 9 and 10 at 7:00 p.m. and Sept. 11 at 3:00 p.m. at the theatre located at 120 S. Market St. in Opelousas.
Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased at the door or in advance at Sebastien-Dupre Fine Jewellery and Wanda’s Florist in Opelousas, or at Frey Outfitters in Eunice.
