110 Stories Geneseo at 302 N State St – Geneseo, IL

110 Stories

A staged reading of the play, 110 Stories, by Sara Tuft, will be performed on September 14, 2025, at 3 p.m. in the sanctuary of Kingswood Church Geneseo (formerly known as Geneseo First Methodist Church). The play is a compilation of representative stories of 9/11 and the Twin Towers: the rescuers, the rescued; the healers, the healing; those who ran toward danger, and those who perished.

In-person ticket sales begin August 23, 2025, before and after church services at Kingswood Church, 302 N. State Street, Geneseo. ALL proceeds of ticket sales will be donated to the Henry County Office of Emergency Management (OEM).

OEM needs to replace its Radiation Detection Unit, now long past its prime and beyond grant-funding from Homeland Security. The unit not only detects radiation, but air-quality generally at disaster sites, which encompass operations in Henry, Stark and Mercer Counties—an area of 1,683 square miles, the largest such district in the State of Illinois.

Mat Schnepple, Director of OEM, will attend the performance of 110 Stories, and be available to discuss the vital importance of the unit.

Please plan to attend the performance. Advance ticket sales are encouraged, as seating is limited.

Due to the graphic nature of the horrors of 9/11, the 3 p.m. performance is not recommended for children under the age of 13. The nursery will not be available for the performance. Out of respect for the storiers that honor the heros of 9/11, the actors, and patrons, there will be no late seating.

Eventbrite ticket costs include a $5.13 Eventbrite service charge. For Eventbrite purchases, please pick up your tickets for the event in the church comons area prior to the show. Reservations are now being accpeted via email. For inquiries and tickets, please email 110StoriesGeneseo@gmail.com
