After responding to a fatal overdose of one of their own, rural EMTs question the repetitive trauma and stress of their work. Based on EMS provider stories gathered across the U.S. from 2016-2018, this project grapples with the unique challenges faced by emergency medical responders. 
 
We know that the first responder community continues to face loss, addiction and trauma. While this play is not based on any individuals or services in the Connecticut area, it addresses difficult issues that are pressing and relevant, including trauma, suicide, overdose, addiction and grief.
 
Created by a team of EMTs, WFRs, healthcare providers, theater artists, writers, musicians and disaster responders, this play tells stories of responders struggling with trauma, burnout, and the aftermath of a coworker's death. While the characters are fictional, parts of their experiences are based on interviews and conversations with EMS providers from across the country that took place during 2016-2018. The play has been in development since summer 2016, was completed in late 2018, and began rehearsals at the start of 2019.

This first performance hopes to solicit audience feedback and discussion in order to improve the project. Please join us for a discussion after the play to share your thoughts.
