Guns In Dragonland by Eislinn Gracen
Navigating youth is a universal challenge, but with the threat of firearms, American students face their mortality before they stop wearing tutus to school. Fortunately, these kids don’t face this horror alone: meet the guardian angels of America’s youth – dragons. Guns in Dragonland, written, created and performed by Ithaca College students, is a series of vignettes exploring American school society and its overlap with gun culture. Witness as these children and their dragon guardians grapple with the dangers of gun violence with humour, bravery and compassion. 'Surprising and extraordinary' (David Henry Hwang).
