In with their eyes, student actors transcribed monologues culled from interviews with their fellow classmates, teachers, custodians, and cafeteria workers. The pieces describe the pain of watching people jump to their deaths from office windows, the terror of being separated from their families, the lingering after effects of being temporarily housed in a different school, and the post-traumatic stress that nearly paralyzed all 3200 students.

We’d left the windows open that day.
Everything was gray or black, or even just a, a dusted color.
Everything was just--I felt like I was, you know, walking into a portrait.
The house just…
it was just dirty.
When things are dirty there’s--it’s like a multi-sensory thing, 
it was like,
I guess I’m saying it again, 
it was walking into a photograph.
It was just dirty...
It wasn’t even my house anymore.
