“Alexander’s”: An original play that illustrates the differences and similarities between rebellions and riots throughout history. This play is a great example of how events, that are seemingly different, can easily be linked together by one central theme. Every event revolves around the bar the play takes place in. 

After receiving an alarming text about a school shorting nearby, Sara Davis, a patron of the bar, recalls the time she too was a victim of a school shooting. In her monologue, she is in the midst of a school shooting and doesn’t know if she will make it out alive. This monologue is heavily based on the infamous shooting and bomb threats at Columbine High school in Columbine, Colorado in 1999. On April 20, 1999, high school seniors, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered 12 students and 1 teacher in this horrifying event. Throughout the entirety of the monologue, there is a sense of panic, fear, and hopelessness. Sara is unsure whether or not she will make it out alive. She doesn’t know if that day will be her last and she doesn’t know if she’ll ever see the people she loves again. Although this monologue is based on the Columbine shootings, it can easily be tied to the major school shootings that have come after. School shootings are sadly still very prevalent and have greatly affected society. This monologue sheds light on the issue by not harboring on facts alone, but by really focusing on the emotion behind it all.
