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.
