Theatre Review: ‘The Second Best School Shooting’ at NextStop Theatre

If the title makes you shrink away, this play will be a challenge for you to get through.

If the title doesn’t turn you away, it is no more shocking in performance than the title might suggest.

As a person who grew up in the school shooting generation, I didn’t find it particularly upsetting as an audience member, but your comfort level may vary.
