retirement causes him to deeply examine his life ( An Unexamined Life , by William Ivers), two
grade schoolers, who are trying to make sense of the current political climate over a box of Milk
Duds ( Idealogues , by Jack Neary), an extravagant escape to a luxury hotel suite, that only
provides a temporary reprieve from reality ( Easter at the Entreé Gold , by John Minigan), and a
High School English class dealing with school bureaucracy, student apathy, and an active shooter
drill ( An Ordinary Day With Bullets by Walter A. Freeman).
