    It is a tragedy that pieces like this have to be written and by the time I'd read this heart breaking piece I felt angry for the character. Its a monologue that will inspire conversation, stir emotions and if placed in front of the right audience I think it could go some way towards people thinking about change. A very well written piece with a wonderfully genuine voice at its centre.

    A young woman, "HOSTESS", grieves and leads her community of fellow students simultaneously. While fervent in her beliefs, she opens her heart to those who don't agree with her. Recommended for theaters, educational settings, gun safety training, diversity/tolerance seminars, houses of worship.

    A great monologue for a teenage girl to use in an audition, and a great short play to perform for young audiences. In a few pages it deals with some timely tough issues: mass shootings, friendship, God, fear, and healing.
    Jam packed with emotion, it is a riveting piece of theatre.
