An incredibly powerful piece on gun violence in schools and the numbers that never make math the same. Fantastic work.

A huge topic boiled down to a simple point thanks to the perspective coming from the shattered inoccence of a child. Donna uses basic math to spotlight the massive impact mass shootings are having in our society in a way only a powerful playwright could. This is poignant work.

Empathetic, compelling and all-too timely, this short piece gets at the heart of the questions we're all asking ourselves right now. Hoke does an incredible job setting us up to peer into abject horror through the eyes of a small child. Without being ham-fisted or maudlin, she creates depth, warmth and resonance. This could be any kid anywhere, asking simple questions. This play underscores the writer's finely-tuned craft — serving at once as a beautiful eulogy and a call to action.
