"Alexander's": A student-written play that relives and depicts responses, riots, and rebellions throughout the world. This play draws from common themes of fear, hardship, pride, and war throughout history.  

Darla, the evening time bartender, recites a flashback monologue portraying her experience during the Orlando Nightclub shootings. On June 12, 2016, there was a mass shooting in which a man gunned down 49 people, injuring 53 people at a gay nightclub. The character Darla was another patron in the nightclub at the night of the shooting and describes her point of view during the traumatizing event. During the monologue, Darla reimagines her feelings of guilt, fear, hopelessness, and sorrow. It is relevant to revisit this event through the perspective of a victim as the Orlando shootings are another occurrence of history repeating it's. Almost 50 years before this shooting was the Stonewall raids and riots, another event where the LGBTQIAP+ community was violently targeted. These are not the only events where the LGBTQIAP+ community has been discriminated against and is an issue that is extremely prevalent today. The world is still fighting the fight to accept those for who they are and obtain equal rights for everyone.
