Free Play Reading: Bang, Bang, You're Dead


Date: Wednesday, March 14, 2018
Time: 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM
Campus: Dayton
Location: Buildling 2, Black Box Theatre

Limited Seating. Latecomers will not be seated once the performance begins.

Bang, Bang, You’re Dead! was written by William Mastrosimone in the wake of three school shootings: Thurston High School (Springfield, Oregon) on May 21, 1998, Heath High School (Paducah, Kentucky) on December 4, 1997, and Westside Middle School (Jonesboro, Arkansas) on March 24, 1998. While written nearly 20 ago, the story eerily mirrors recent events in the United States.

Mastrosimone intended the play to raise awareness of school violence so allows it to be performed without payment of royalties, as long as the performance is not for profit. This presentation is done in remembrance of the victims and support of the survivors of these events.
