About
the Play:
Bulletproof Backpack is a full-length drama by Eric
Coble. Active shooter drills are supposed to prepare students to
survive, but what’s preparing them to live under a constant threat
of violence? Bulletproof Backpack features teens tackling the
tough subject of school shootings and how they handle the mental
pressures and fear of living with the constant threat which all too
often dominates the headlines.
Bulletproof Backpack begins when a teenager named Cloe
accidentally sees a list of names another student is compiling. Is it
a "hit list" for a planned school shooting? Or is it
something more innocent? Now Cloe has one night to make the hardest
decision she's ever faced: Say nothing and risk a mass murder on
the schoolgrounds, or report the student and possibly ruin his life
over nothing. In a cascading series of phone calls, Cloe, her friends
and two adults race against the clock to find the balance between
responsibility and panic. It's a
drill they've practiced for since they were in kindergarten but
will it get reported or overlooked before it's too late? Could the
students arrive in class the next morning facing bullets and terror?
Bulletproof Backpack premiered in 2021 at the Florida
Repertory Theatre in Fort Myers, Florida and
has since been performed all over the United States.
