The roughly hour-long play will explore Cassie's relationship with her parents, their discovery of dark, sometimes violent letters in her room, and how they helped her find the right track again. The play shows Cassie saying goodbye to her mother before leaving for school April 20, but the shooting is not depicted in any way, just the Bernalls' realization that their firstborn had died. Acknowledging that Cassie's story is one of many, South Sheridan Baptist plans a tribute to all the victims before each performance. He has five children, three of them teenagers. The production has made him more aware as a parent, he said.
Admission is free, but tickets are necessary.
