Theatre Critic Peter Nason, Broadway World, Tampa

“Like The Breakfast Club set after Columbine….

In its current incarnation at the Fringe, NOT ONE MORE should be required viewing by parents, teachers, counselors, and students who want to make sense of this crazy world that they’re inheriting. It’s a perfect addition to the Fringe, which usually hosts quirky plays, wild ideas, fun times. But it is also a place for serious works, and this one was like an explosion of sorts–an explosion of emotions. The Fringe audience was spellbound, sitting on the edges of their seats, holding their collective breaths. They knew they weren’t coming in to see a laugh riot, but many weren’t prepared for this emotional tumult, this sock in the gut, care of Ms. Bostock-Kelley’s excellent ensemble.

The audience left the theatre in a daze, awestruck by the force that they had just experienced, and probably wondering if there are any frothy Fringe pieces out there, some lighter fare perhaps, that would be best to follow up the harrowing and thought-provoking NOT ONE MORE.”

Amy C. Ragg believes so fiercely in the power of words to generate compassion that she told Deb she would clean the bathrooms, if she had to, just to be part of this show at its inception as a ten minute entry in the Tampa Bay Theatre Festival. Deb, instead, gave her the part of Rose. Joining the directing team now is a gift of trust that she aspires to be worthy of every day. We hear the stories of the shooters, the survivors, the hashtags, but how often do we really connect to the people behind the hashtags? It is Amy’s most fervent hope to help all of us, cast, crew, and audience find empathy and compassion for these beautifully written characters. May we see things through new eyes and help ensure that in our world there is truly #notonemore. Peace & Love

News flash
We’re here at the scene
They’re tryin’ to talk but they can’t say what they mean
We hear it on the tv things are not what they seem

And oh
Look
It’s breaking news
Everybody’s lined up ready to choose their fate
With haste
That flame In the dark
Will steal them away

But forgetting is easy
They just need something to grab
Something to use to make it worth all that cash

Not one more
Not one more
It’s done
This is real
Their fates aren’t sealed
We can save them
We can save us
Not one more fight
Not one more shot
Not one more flame
In the dark

They’re talking
But their voices are low
It’s taboo to think
That they know what they know
The truth is
We created this
The pain exists ‘cause of our own ignorance

News flash
We’re here again
These people here will never be the same again

We have to stop
We have to listen
Make
It
Stop

Not one more
Not one more
It’s done
This is real
Their fates aren’t sealed
We can save them
We can save us
Not one more fight
Not one more shot
Not one more flame
In the dark

Listen to the stories
Listen to the stories
If we are going to hear the stories
Let them serve as a reminder
Not one more
We don’t want one
Not one more
Shot in the dark

No more
No more
We can’t have this anymore
