In the aftermath of a school shooting, the devastated families of the shooter and victim must fight through grief and shame to come to a place of understanding while questioning their own roles in the tragedy. What part did they play in their children’s tragic ends?

This powerful one-act play written by Ruth Connors and directed by Simone Daniel explores the catalysts and ripple effects that surround some of the most traumatic experiences students and families face in our ever-challenging world. “Mimosas” is presented by the Maslow Family Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Wilkes University.
