    Sad and haunting. Wyne Alyse Thomas, through the voices of her young characters, makes disturbingly clear the horrors today’s schoolchildren must face. This important play has a message that needs to be shared far and wide.

    Wow. As a former teacher and mother, this short play emotionally hits me on all levels. The beautiful innocence juxtaposed with gritty maturity is powerful message as two young people are both SCARED and AFRIAD of the world around them. And the song... phew.
