Bang Bang You're Dead
Benefit Show 2020
William Mastrosimone; Directed by Lindsay Franklin
Bang Bang You're Dead is a powerful play by William Mastrosimone, whose intent was to raise awareness regarding school violence with a show to be performed by teens for teens. Josh is a high school student who, after shooting five students and his parents, reflects on what led him to that point. Throughout the show, Josh is taunted by the voices of those he killed, and a chorus questions him about his actions. Unfortunately, this challenging and all too relevant play continues to be of great importance almost 20 years after it was first performed.
