Not sure if this has been posted before but I found this play that's based on Columbine that has been performed a few times and found the script for it if anyone wants to read it. The shooting scene starts on page 95, although its based on Columbine it is a play so it is a bit dramatized.

I spoke to somebody who played faith in her college production but I’ve never seen the script. I wonder how some of the families and survivors felt about it?
I posted a clip of a college production that was based on Columbine but nobody really liked it. The writer also got a lot of info wrong!

So far, I am only a couple of minutes in, best portrayal of Dylan I have seen.....
You'd think it wouldn't be hard to find someone who could play him correctly.

I take that back when the actor actually starts talking more he has a really weird southern accent. Dylan didn’t have a southern accent because he’s not from the south....
Only accent you really have to maybe put on is for Eric. But I wouldn’t even try. Since we all know how Tim McVeighs zero hour went vocally.... And I imagine some inflections would be kind of similar.

Can you imagine Dylan actually having a southern accent?

Yeah I couldn't find any full versions of it on YouTube and the few that I could find were only a few minutes and were in awful quality. I actually heard of this play from this Vice News Segment that showed parts of a performance and was in HD.

They are putting a production of this play on at the local college in April and I am definitely going to go see it. I'll come back with any thoughts I may have! I haven't read the script because I don't want to "spoil" myself lol.

I'm surprised I've never heard about this play before, considering I am usually all over fictionalized "Columbine media" haha. I just love watching all the different takes from people with different agendas trying to tell the story, even the absolute schlock. I'm really excited to go see this, and I'll definitely come back with any opinions I have and other things I may have gleaned from this production. I can't say my hopes are too high for accuracy, but definitely excited to see how this plays out.
When the opening in April rolls around I'll let you know what I thought!

I posted this a while ago. I was speaking to someone about the play I’m writing, it’s fictional but it’s about a school shooting and she shared something she wrote and produced. It’s inaccurate
Have you seen 26 pebbles about Sandy Hook? They were doing auditions in Los Angeles before i moved.

I've seen pictures of the play (I think there is one where Dylan is holding a gun to Erics head or vice versa) but I've never actually seen any of the clips from the play.
