*Note this is a performance that is meant to be done by one actor. Within the performance the actor will play three different characters.

On May 24th, 2022 in Uvalde, Texas on the steps of Robb Elementary School the lives of so many people in that community and around this country were altered if not forever changed. One of the most tragic realities in America to date is that unfortunately mass shootings have become a part of our norm. They happen more than ever expected and one would question, is it ever going to stop? The three voices that are memorialized in this solo performance address the perspectives of three people who others would say are survivors. In some way, shape, or form, they lived through that day on May 24th. However, as they tell their stories we realize and come to terms with the idea that more times than not people who have survived these tragic experiences where they have either been present, or lost a loved one, that though they are here they do not actually fully survive. Told from the perspective of a child remembering their little sister as well as two mothers the hope in sharing this story is that we realize no matter how far removed we are from these tragic situations there are people who live within them every single day. Survivors, because they are still here with us, but because they have lost so much it is a difficult perspective to live within. *This performance may be altered to represent any gender identification of performer.
