Support this critically acclaimed drama that takes an intimate look at how the unexpected consequences of gun violence reverberate through a community over time.

Here are what some folks had to say about the The Barrow Group’s original production of 17 Minutes…

“Just one perfectly-acted scene after another. Totally real, no fakery or BS... So tense and utterly real. Exactly human size. That's what I admired about the whole thing. It was rigorously real...”
–Ira Glass

“It’s the kind of play that's so moving that you wish everyone you know could see it immediately."
–Mike Birbiglia

"Brilliant! 17 Minutes is a work of empathy and startling compassion…”
–Theater Pizzazz

" gripping, naturalistic, and quietly devastating "
–Plays to See

"This play is one of those rare instances in which all elements—the writing, the casting, the performances, the direction, and the production design—fit together perfectly."
–Theaterscene
