9/11 commemorative event, at Moravian College

Moravian College plans to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11. A campus-wide event is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 11, from 7 p.m. to 8:50 p.m.

The first phase of the event, in Prosser Auditorium, will feature the reading of "Tribute: 9/11," a play written by Christopher Shorr in 2002. Moravian students will be invited to write two to five sentences of their own reflections on the personal impact of 9/11 and how the world changed as a result of it. A few students will read some of these messages as a part of the onstage performance.

At 8:20 p.m. there will be an invitation for the audience to come forward and take symbols from the stage representing the nearly 3,000 lives lost. The second phase of the event will be a 30-minute candlelight vigil around the Memorial Tree. Moravian College President Christopher Thomforde will be among the speakers.
