WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Ten years ago on April 20, 1999, the world watched as two young men presumed to be outcasts walked into their high school and attempted to massacre hundreds of their peers. Although failing in their original mission to kill 250 students, the two teens left 12 students and a teacher fatally wounded and many others scarred for life. The Columbine Project examines exactly what went through the minds of several students, including the killers who at one time were just normal kids. Pulled straight from journals, diaries and information shared personally with the writer by survivors of the incident, this true story provides insight into who these children were and who may have also had a hand in cultivating the rampage that resulted in bloodshed and destruction.

RE:This Show Was Amazing
This play was unbelievably heart wrenching. It honestly and poignantly told the story of the tragedy of Columbine and moved me in an incredible way. The actors were top notch and the way the story is told by Storiale is creative and interesting the whole way through. If I lived in NY I would see it again and again and I would get everyone I know to come with me.
The story of the Columbine Massacre is one that needs to be heard so we can avoid further tragedies of this kind.
Paul Storiales telling of this important story is sensitive and honors those people who went through it.
Not to mention it is an amazing catharsis and I HIGHLY recommend going to see it!

The Columbine Project, now at the Actors Temple Theatre, is hard to sit through, but not, as one might expect, because of the subject matter. Writer/director Paul Anthony Storiale's docudrama attempts to explore the motivating factors and aftereffects of the school shootings at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, but his heavy-handed approach, coupled with several questionable theatrical choices, make this two hour-and-15-minute production come across as woefully amateurish.
The piece is derived from public testimony, journal entries from victims and survivors, and other information that Storiale was able to obtain about the tragedy. This has allowed for some interesting perspectives [...]
