'Columbinus' at Steppenwolf: As shootings continue, this play just gets more difficult to watch

Chicago Tribune: Nothing has changed, but everything is changing.

That’s the first gut reaction to “Columbinus,” the docudrama about the 1999 attacks at Columbine High School that ended with 15 dead, including the perpetrators. Created by P.J. Paparelli, the late artistic director of the now-defunct American Theater Company, and playwright Stephen Karam (“The Humans”) out of interviews, journals and other original source material, the show premiered in 2005 in Maryland, had an off-Broadway run in 2006, and has been presented locally at Raven Theatre in 2008 and ATC in 2013. The latter production was updated through interviews conducted with Columbine survivors 10 years after.
