Relevant, Resonant, Thought-provoking, Intense, Cliched

See it if Some really nice performances overall, very nuanced work in characterization. My heart broke for Cassie Beck's portrayal of a lost soul.

Don't see it if Heavy handed at times with some unrealistic writing. A little cliched as well, but it wasn't the eye-roll worthy squirm in seat type.

Thought-provoking, Relevant

See it if you're interested in relevant plays about important issues in America, and might like play that attempts to use a young girl's point of view

Don't see it if you have seen enough plays about gun violence recently (although play is about aftermath/coping) and are looking for something more upbeat.

Great acting, Great staging, Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Resonant

See it if You like topical theater that shows you the aftermath of a tragedy. Beautifully staged, great acting. Intense

Don't see it if You don't like slow stories that don't really go anywhere. It's a slice of life look at a world gone insane.

Ambitious, Relevant, Resonant

See it if you want to see a play on a hot button issue that focuses on how youth process tragedy.

Don't see it if a play falling apart in the last five minutes will ruin the whole show for you or if you want something light and uplifting.
