A highschool in Texas. A highschool in Texas with mandated guns in the teachers' possession. . A highschool in Texas with mandated guns in the teachers' possession and the students mourning the death of their peer.

Texas Revolution War Heroes, indie rock, and less-than-good meatloaf take the centerstage in this absurdist response to recent legislation. 4 M/3 W/1 NB, absurdism, 60-minutes, one-act reading october 2020 (hopefully, postponed due to the pandemic) in Seattle, WA (or virtually??) with MirrorStage https://mirrorstage.org/ Boson follows the story of the relationship of Alice, a quantum physicist, and Margie, a history textbook writer. As Alice navigates the world of political campaigning amidst Trump's campaign and election, Margie struggles to connect to her and to her own past.
