During this mesmerizing drama, a rookie police officer finds even an accident can have paralyzing consequences when his gun goes off in an encounter with a young African-American man. 

Did his gun slip, or was it shot? A heartbreaking performance about violence, fear, and our need to move forward. 

This production contains adult themes and language.

“Slip/Shot” earned the Brown Martin Award and the Barrymore Award for Outstanding New Play. 

Additionally, it was named one of the "Top 10 Productions of 2012" by “Philadelphia Weekly.”
