“ I was not prepared for the emotional gut punch this play is. A brilliant use of the pace and timing, of naturalistic dialog and the supernatural, of what is seen and heard and what ISN'T seen and what ISN'T heard. This is a deep, religious, reflection on death in general, and what caused these characters deaths. This is a play that should be seen and performed at every play festival about gun control. ”

“ Gut-wrenching and hard, this short play has a huge impact. Haas's pace is perfect, guiding us through this intense moment in time. ”

“ A roller-coaster of a play that takes you through all of the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The echo of the PRAYER in the background haunts you as you watch these 3 funny, ambitious children figure out what the next step is. Haas puts you right there in the Forgetting Room with her characters; the only difference is that when you walk out you won't be able to forget them. ”
