    These characters are real, lively, and unique. The Finale Debate recognizes the reality of gun violence in a way that forces others to listen and take action. Thank you for your beautiful work.

    This well-written play carries you along a recognizable road until it blows you away with truth and reality. It is very meaningful regarding gun violence. The teenage roles would be welcome in any high school or adult theatre. Well done Bublitz.

    A timely piece where students pick up the mantle for people to value their lives and finally take action on gun control. Well done.
