’26 Pebbles’ chronicles fallout after mass killing

First Presbyterian Theater will be putting on a production of 26 Pebbles, a documentary-style drama portraying the stories and experiences of parents and community members that went through the horrific incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

The Sandy Hook shooting occurred Dec. 14, 2012, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza stormed the school killing 20 students and six adult staff members before taking his own life. He had also killed his mother before going to the school.

It is one of the deadliest school shootings in history, and yet our country is still dealing with mass shootings.

The show will open Friday, March 14, and continue for six shows through Sunday, March 23.

The play's director is John O’Connell, dean of Purdue Fort Wayne’s College of Visual and Performing Arts.
