This ten minute play for teens in the classroom is to honor and memorialize the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. It focuses on a small class of students hidden away in safety by their English teacher and what happens while they wait for the shooting to stop. But the question begs will they ever be safe again? The Parkland mass school shooting has not been allowed to be forgotten due to a large group of brave teenagers. ALL NEW PLAYS! (Ten Minutes to Curtain!
