“In the long list of mass shootings in our country, this one stands out so strongly because the victims were so young,” Human Race Artistic Director Kevin Moore said in a release. “Playwright and Broadway performer Eric Ulloa went to the community, interviewed the people of Newtown and created this powerful play that looks at how the community came together to heal and find their way out of tragedy — to hope.”
These interviews that Ulloa conducted are woven throughout the play that tells the tragic story of the mass shooting and how it impacted the community of Newtown.
A single viewing of the encore performance is $10 and can be purchased by visiting broadwayondemand.com. There will be an additional option to donate more money upon purchasing a viewing of the show. All sales and donations will be donated to Sandy Hook Promise, an organization founded by families of the victims of the mass shooting to create a culture that prevents school violence and other harmful acts against children.
“This compelling and hopeful story of a community working together to ascend from tragedy is a lesson that many communities could very much use right now,” Moore said.
