    This is a powerful play! Equally strong opposing viewpoints that are gut wrenching, honest and painful. I couldn't decide whose viewpoint I favored as I tossed it back and forth. This play will stay with me.

    I have so many emotions after reading this. I'm upset that active shooter drills even need to be common place, I'm upset that this teacher is in trouble for trying to protect a child's childhood, and I'm just upset with the lack of gun laws in America in general. This is one of my favorite plays from Minigan and I'm going to be chewing it for a long time. The tension between these friends made me forget to breathe.

    The play examines teaching in these days where teachers practice working in a combat zone and children rehearse for life-shattering trauma. This play, about a teacher deciding not to lock out a student during a drill, is honest, thoughtful, and horribly timely as school shootings come every week, if not every day. The decision of the administrator to protect bureaucracy over education, and to value c.y.a. over children, is all too familiar.
