HOW IT WORKS
We will have a waiting room for the duration of the Zoom Call and bring each person in individually. Please provide a 30-60 second DRAMATIC monologue. We will also provide cold read sheets to read from. If call backs are needed, we will communicate that with those chosen.

Synopsis
After a horrific school shooting, a community is left to pick up the pieces. Why did this happen? The only friend of the shooter, Tad, who managed to stop the killer early in the rampage, blames himself. What's it like to be the best friend of a killer? Tortured and guilty, Tad is forced to examine his life and his relationship with his best friend—and where it went wrong. Could he have stopped the shooting before it happened? Could he have talked his friend out of it? First Person Shooter is a difficult and complex look at emotional abuse, bullying and the tragedy of being an outcast.
