“The Gaggle” by Ralph Colombino

Sunday, July 20th at 2:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Bang Bang You’re Dead is a one-act play written by
William Mastrosimone. Josh’s life is a
never-ending cycle of bullying and self-loathing until he makes a decision that
destroys his life and the lives of others. He’s already in jail, but can he
face the real consequences? After a school shooting, the ghosts of five
victims demand answers. In this moving drama, Josh’s life is a portrait of
bullying, self-loathing and suicidal thoughts. What happens when he realizes
the future he stole from the victims and himself?   

The
Mini Misfits’ Anti Bullying play, The Gaggle follows the story of a very unique and
empowered girl named Phoebe. She is new to Guggenheim Academy and
immediately has to deal with the meanest girl who ever lived, a bully
named Stacey, not to mention her group of friends who call themselves
The Gaggle. Stacey and her crew decide that they are going to bully the
new girl, but little do they know what they are up against. Phoebe
defends herself with wit, cunning, and guile. Guggenheim Academy would
never be the same again. Truthfully acted, wonderfully written, and
extremely relatable to its audience, The Gaggle is entertaining and
profoundly effective in the ongoing battle with bullying.
