Play, documentary recall youngest Station fire victim

PROVIDENCE -- A documentary about the youngest person killed in The Station nightclub fire will be screened in Providence next month.

The movie, "41,'' will be shown March 3 at the Cable Car Cinema and Cafe.

It's about Nicholas O'Neill, who was 18 years old when he and 99 other people were killed in the Feb. 20, 2003, fire at The Station nightclub in West Warwick.

The film is co-directed by O'Neill's older brother, Christian, and includes family members reminiscing about the teenager's life.

In addition, "They Walk Among Us,'' a play written by O'Neill about teenagers who die and return as guardian angels will air on statewide television tomorrow, the fifth anniversary of the fire.

The production will be broadcast on Cox Cable Channel 71 at 7 p.m.

On Sunday, several hundred people attended a memorial service for the victims of the fire at the former site of the club in West Warwick.
