About the short play Woman on the 97th Floor: There was an image, burned into the minds of some Americans on September 11th, when a man and a woman leapt out of an office window of one of the Twin Towers. They were holding hands. This is a fictionalized account of what may have happened, or what some people did that day, the moment before. It is a play about choice.

Woman on the 97th Floor was written by Susan Kelejian, directed by Bernadette Armstrong, starring Gloria Tsai as Woman and Michael Fletcher as John Washington.

Susan Kelejian's previous plays include The Tragedy of Boudicca, The Belles of Bedlam, and Drive. She is the founder of the Ojai Valley Artists Theatre Ensemble. She is also an actor, director and licensed psychotherapist
