Just Another School Shooting

A New World Theatre Club production.
By Gerald Arthur Moore.
Directed by Sean Sideris.

Performed 15th to 17th March 2013 at the Tramsscapp, Limpertsberg.

The play is a poignant psychological drama depicting the lives of four high school students who survive a school shooting. The playwright used the characters of teenagers he knew to create the characters of the survivors and used an 18 month time line to confront the viewers with the longer term effects of these horrific events. How will each survivor cope with their emotional and physical wounds and how will each be able to help the others heal. The play is set in Hamilton, Ontario but it could be anywhere in the world – as we are so sadly aware. The youth group participants have been wholly committed as it is an issue which directly affects them as young people. Different actors have been used to portray our characters over the time line and for each act there was a youth group assistant director. The play is directed by Sean Sideris, a member of the youth group. It is a disturbingly topical, provocative and moving story of four school companions trying to come to terms with their ordeal, and a tribute to all the victims.

Due to the sensitive topic of the play it was not be suitable for the very young. Please note that the age of the cast ranges from 10 – 18 years old
