“The 3 possible endings was exciting, and allowed for interesting discussion when deciding what we wanted the final tone to ultimately be.”

“We had a good time with this play and combined it with another futuristic one-act for a night of "spooky" dystopian plays. Set, props, and costumes are very simple, and the message is clear.”
Brittany Copeland, Fr. Tolton Catholic High School
