←Recommendations of We Interrupt This Broadcast

Chilling. Vivid. And REAL. And that's the problem. Claudia Haas with "We Interrupt This Broadcast" has put us directly in the drivers seat of the ongoing tragedy in America. And, as this short play implies, it can only get worse. Brace yourselves!

"We Interrupt This Program" is a chillingly effective piece that says more in a single page than many full-length dramas accomplish in two hours. Claudia Haas uses the relentless rhythm of breaking-news bulletins to expose the numbing normalization of gun violence in America with devastating precision. The final exchange lands like a punch to the gut, transforming an ordinary domestic moment into a profound statement about fear and American life. Elegant, economical, and hauntingly relevant.

An all too real portrait of news in America.

Hass takes 60 seconds and capsulizes a nation's emotions as a result of mass shootings in this powerful little play. Sure hope WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST makes it into every one-minute play festival!

That was a shock...I was feeling the pressure of this piece and boom, it was over. A perfect addition to any one minute play festival.

Every time I see a piece inspired by mass shootings it does make me despair but that does not change the fact that this is a wonderfully powerful piece. It shows the audience, not only how this epidemic of mass shootings has spread everywhere but also how it and the fear that comes with it creates a society that lives in constant fear. Its sharp and to the point!

A great example of a powerful message hitting hard in less than a minute of stage time.

A short and powerful minute.

Claudia Haas sums up the scourge of gun violence in the US in one short page. I read this shortly after learning about a shooting at Michigan State University. No doubt future readers/audiences will read/see this soon after another mass shooting. This one will touch a nerve, as it should.

This short play cuts right to the point in seconds. With so much gun violence in the USA, you can't help but believe this scenario could happen.
In so few words, Claudia has hit this home very hard. Chilling and excellent.
