Greenheart Productions debuts with the professional Connecticut premiere of 17 MINUTES by playwright Scott Organ.
Play synopsis: 17 MINUTES is the length of time Sheriff’s Deputy Andy Rubens stood outside of a school while a shooter was inside. The play 17 MINUTES explores the communal and residual effects of a shooting through Andy, a man who struggles with his own complicity in the tragedy, and who seeks meaning in the wake of the shooting.
Reviews “Brilliant! 17 MINUTES is a work of empathy and startling compassion.” —Ron Fassler, Theater Pizzazz

At Greenheart Productions, we seek to be curator and conduit for powerful stories that inspire empathy in an increasingly divided society. The works we give voice to through live performance are chosen with purpose -- to spark a dialogue that leads with compassion and empathy.
17 MINUTES by Scott Organ is the play that sparked it all. After discovering this riveting and all too relevant play, we knew it needed to be widely seen. So we set out to find a way to do just that. By partnering with venues and established theatre companies, our projects will find suitable homes to thrive, providing work for professional theatre artists, and providing thought provoking and inspiring cultural experiences to the community.
GREENHEART PRODUCTIONS Inspired by the rare strength of the Greenheart Tree, we strive to tell bold, thought provoking stories crafted with passion and purpose. Our work grows from the ground up: deeply rooted in craft, rich in heart, and fiercely alive.
