Hole in the Sky

March 13, 2026

OKP's production of “Hole in the Sky” will be on Friday, March 13, at 7:30. This show details the story of people in the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City on the morning of September 11, above the point of impact. The piece takes place in the tower as well as moments within the characters’ minds and memories. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors. 

 

Anyone interested in attending who cannot make the show on March 13 can see their performance on March 14 at RJ Kinsella Magnet School in Hartford as part of a statewide competition. Ticket prices for this show may vary from performances hosted at EHS.
