Shooter! introduces us to Professor Leia, who is befuddled by the task of ushering undergrads into the dramatic principles of playwriting and life lessons simultaneously. When a student brings in a violent play, she suspects him of being a possible school shooter. As Leia's home life becomes more dangerous, she doubles down on her fear of the potential shooter. A dark comedy about the danger of the dislocation of fear—both to the object of that fear and its agent.

Callie Burk-Hartz saw the show six times while she was still a NYC resident and is so excited to be remounting the production in the Midwest with her own spin, including casting three women in a show written for an all-male cast. This production is an extended version of the hit IndyFringe Festival 2018 show.
