The Columbine Project, written and directed by Paul Anthony Storiale, will make its Off-Broadway debut at the Actors Temple Theatre, July 27, with an opening set for August 9.

The piece concerns the April 20, 1999 school shooting, and uses journals, diaries and information shared personally with the writer by survivors of the incident to provide insight into how this tragedy occurred.

The play debuted in April of this year in North Hollywood, receiving favorable reviews and two extensions. The New York production will feature the entire original cast, made up of Artie Ahr, Evan Enslow, Justin Mortelliti, Bradley Michael, and Rya Meyers. Also featured in the cast are Stacy Allen, Will Barker, Alex Bica, Kelli Joan Bennett, Jesse Kove, Kelly McCracken, Derek Meeker, Bree Pavey, Karen Praxel, Morgan Roberts, Sara Swain, Stephanie Weyant, and Marquerite Wiseman.
