Christian Plays: “IT’S NOT TOO LATE” – Performance History

A Christian play inspired by the Columbine Tragedy

Written by Dick Lentz

IT’S NOT TOO LATE is a Christian play inspired by the Columbine tragedy. It is a story of decisions people make about God. It was written in 1999 in response to the tragic shootings that took place on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, and was performed half a dozen times early in 2000 by a Christian drama group. It has been performed over 250 times worldwide since then and has been translated into multiple foreign languages including Arabic, Russian, French, Africaans, and Spanish.

The Performance History for this play can be found below.
