Celebration honors Sept. 11 heroes

ISU Theatre is sponsoring a celebration, “Threnody for Tuesday,” for Sept. 11 heroes and heroines in order to help the public cope with the terrorist attacks.

The event will begin at 8:45 a.m. and will end at 4 p.m. in front of Parks Library.

The public will be able to pay tribute to the victims by writing a narrative or painting a picture on strips of fabric. These strips will be sewn together to create an installation art piece in hopes of becoming a traveling exhibition.

In addition the public will be able to label a balloon with the name of a Sept. 11 hero or heroine to be released at noon.

The Iowa State Dancers, during a moment of silence from the time the Campanile begins at noon until the last chime, will perform a dance in “Aiding the Ascension of the Spirit.”

The public is welcome to participate in this event.
