SIMONSMITH THEATRE is proud to present the world premiere production of Hope in Chaos by Heather M. McCuen at the Mainline Theatre this October 2010. Based on McCuen’s experience as a member of a New York State Senate-sponsored Disaster Task Force deep inside the chaos of Ground Zero directly following 9/11, Hope in Chaos recounts the team’s efforts to make sense of what has happened to their city. Then, tracked down by a reporter, Hope reveals her struggle to reconcile her time in Ground Zero with where her life has ended up ten years later.
