    Exhilarating use of time and revision. A haunting reminder that your next decision (good or bad) will alter the rest of your life.

    Brutal and unrelenting in its tackling of complex issues, both digitally and in the real world. Modern in storytelling but thematically universal. A punch to the gut.

    A taut, suspenseful script that tackles Internet culture, policing, and gun violence in bold ways, while more subtly touching on issues of race, privilege, and personal responsibility. A timely play that will leave audiences with lots to discuss long after they’ve left the (physical or virtual) theater!

MARK - White. He/Him. 19 and 22. The “charismatic” one. Entitled in the way white guys from small towns tend to be entitled. Plus an only child. Definitely wants things his way.

KG - White. She/Her. 17 and 19. The “thoughtful” one. Initially quiet. Hesitant to be dragged into conflict, especially with friends. All heart. Good in a crisis. The final girl.

DEREK - Black. He/Him. 16 and 19. The “smart” one. Simply doesn't understand why people wouldn't work their absolute hardest at everything they do. All brain. Doesn't think much about other people's emotions.

BURNETT - Latina. She/Her. Late 20's - Early 30's. A cocked gun.
