Absorbing, Great writing, Great staging, Intelligent, Relevant

See it if you like relevant plays about current events. The story was absorbing and well written and had some poignant moments as well as surprises.

Don't see it if you are frustrated by uneven acting. Although Linda Gravatt's performance was so great it is worth going​ for that alone.

Great staging, Relevant, Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if you enjoy plays that hold a mirror up to society and ask important questions.

Don't see it if you’re looking for escapism. This is about the aftermath of a school shooting. The message is important but some scenes are too on the nose.
