On Tuesday, Sept. 11 at Ponte Vedra High School (PVHS), actor and PVHS theater instructor Jason Nettle will perform “9/11: We Will (Never) Forget,” an original one-man show exploring the perspectives of 17 characters from different backgrounds in the 9/11 tragedy.
Nettle, who lived in New York at the time of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, spent six months researching and four months writing “9/11: We Will (Never) Forget,” and performed it for the first time on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. The play has won numerous awards and has been performed in venues all over Florida and the U.S.
“This show will allow you to look into 17 drastically different points of view of the millions that are out there and touch on the humanity and unity we experienced in the minutes, hours and days after this horrible ordeal,” Nettle said.
Nettle received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in theater performance and his Bachelor of Arts in music theory from Otterbein University in Columbus, Ohio. He received his Master of Fine Arts in theater from the University of Central Florida. He has worked as stage manager at the Alhambra Theatre & Dining and taught acting, voice, musical theater and improvisation at Jacksonville University and Ponte Vedra High School.
The show contains strong language and graphic details. The performance will take place at 7 p.m. in the Ponte Vedra High auditorium, and tickets are $11 at the door. Proceeds will go to the Ponte Vedra High drama department, with $1 per ticket going to K9s for Warriors.
