Relevant, Intense, Edgy, Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if You’re up for a deep dive into the human condition. What we know isn’t the same as what we believe. When the two divide, who are we?

Don't see it if you come to the theater to be amused. This is the serious business of a human soul disintegrating before your very eyes.

Relevant, Profound, Intense, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if you can handle dark subject matter (school shooting), naturalistic performances that are low-key & nuanced, and small intimate theaters.

Don't see it if tragic subject matter upsets you ... there is virtually no light/lightness in this story. Read more

Prophetic before uvaldi shooting, Aftermath of public school shooting massacre; tells story of sheriff's deputy guarding school who froze for 17 minutes; shows kids not the only victims of these mass shootings

See it if community ripped apart by violence; perceptive study of how deputy scapegoated for society's ills; script surprises/gripping final scene

Don't see it if static staging; no payoff or catharsis, only numbness, by end

Great writing, Great acting, Intense, Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if you enjoy strong "theater of the oppressed", meaningful themes and discoveries in the human condition, our strengths and weaknesses.

Don't see it if you are not interested in the subject of gun violence. A powerful statement on how our communities are impacted by one persons action.
