Originally a one woman show, Ragan sat down with this script and turned it into a 6 women show. Connecting each of these women to bring one woman to life. So many efforts made to ensure that the text flowed smoothly when dividing up the script into sections. The other challenges that were faced with this piece was making sure that the actors were socially distanced from one another and how to incorporate hand-held microphones into the blocking since the actors had to devise a section of the piece where the woman in this piece is demonstrating how to shoot an AR-15.

Synopsis: When a senseless act of violence changes her life forever, a liberal college professor finds herself inexplicably drawn to the very weapon used to perpetrate the crime – and to the irresistible feeling of power that comes from holding life and death in her hands. Peering down the barrel of a uniquely American crisis, she begins to suspect that when it comes to gun violence, we’re all part of the problem.
