This show was amazing. The acting and writing were top notch. I was totally engrossed in the world that the two actors created on stage.

The show takes a dark look at the inner mind of a school shooter. Intense, deeply-thought out, and mesmerizing; the play tackles the harsh realities about the necessities for gun control and the reason for it. Will be recommending this to everyone. ...

Framed as a conversation between a journalist and a man convicted of killing multiple people in a school shooting, this piece does not concentrate on the issue of guns, instead it concentrates on the issues of people. Almost underplayed by the cast, it is effective in raising the issues but does not offer solutions. This piece wants you to think

This show is powerful. Relevant. And downright nauseating. The actors did a wonderful job at presenting the juxtaposition of the reasons behind so many of the mass shootings that have occurred within the last two decades. The writer has a wonderful grasp on language. Congratulations on the packed house, guys!...

This could have been a one man show. Monologues helped the audience picture the violence very well. The shooter seemed arrogant and scared. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. The show hits a lot of points about why someone wants to shoot up a school and gives an accurate analysis of the type of person who would commit such a heinous act of violence. The ending made me jump, and I felt terrified when he addressed the audience. Well done. ...
