Declaration

Synopsis: Declaration explores the befores, durings and afters of a group of students whose school is yet another ground zero for a mass shooting. Through a series of connected scenes and monologues, they'll try to piece together what's happened in the frantic moments after, calm themselves with imaginings of what they'll have accomplished years from now--assuming they make it through the morning--and consider whether hiding in classrooms, closets and bathrooms was what our country's founders had in mind when they penned the Declaration of Independence's famous phrase about the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Notes: Ideal for high school and college performers, with a flexible cast of 10-50+. Most roles are gender-flexible. A substantial excerpt is available to preview on the Playscripts site.
