Jewell Theatre Company Presents Columbinus

03/25/2025

On April 10-13, Jewell Theatre Company will present “Columbinus,” written by PJ Paparelli and Stephen Karam. Directed by 2010 alumna Ashton Botts, J.D., with stage designs by Professor Nathan Wyman, the sensitive production combines fact and fiction for a look at events surrounding the 1999 Columbine High School mass shooting.

Dramatic Publishing states the play “weaves together excerpts from discussions with parents, survivors and community leaders in Littleton as well as police evidence to bring to light the dark recesses of American adolescence.”

Variety magazine describes the award-winning play as one that “stirs up thought and feeling in this clean ensemble production, drawn from interviews, public records and the private diaries of the shooters.”

"Columbinus" will be presented four times in Peters Theater, located in Brown Hall on Jewell's campus.

• Thursday, April 10, 7 p.m.
• Friday, April 11, 7 p.m.
• Saturday, April 12, 7 p.m.
• Sunday, April 13, 2 p.m.
