A woman finishing her Christmas shopping at the mall gets caught up in an active shooting situation. She bravely confronts the shooter and lays down the "rules" of how their conversation will go. What follows is her attempt to understand why someone would make the choice to "go down this road."

Rules for Active Shooters is an intense, riveting drama about a frightening modern day reality. Without apologizing for or forgiving the shooter, it looks deep into our humanity via this "every woman." Rules for Active Shooters will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride with a woman who is trying to make sense of a situation no one should ever be put in. Contains strong language. Will be performed in one act without an intermission.
