San Francisco Bay Area Theater Reviews

“The Guys”

September 5, 2016 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

The Guys
Anne Nelson
Pear Theatre

 

Diane Tasca & Ray Renati

As we now approach the fifteenth anniversary of 9/11, Pear Theatre presents The Guys, a play the New York Times once called “a heartfelt theatrical pas de deux” in which Joan (a journalist) meets Nick (a fire chief who has just lost eight firefighters) and leads him gently through remembering things that will “give their friends and family something they recognize.”

The Guys continues through September 18 in repertory with Veils at Pear Theatre, 1110 La Avenida, Mountain View.  Tickets are available at www.thepear.org or by calling 650-254-1148.
