September 11, 2014 would have been Columbine High School shooter Dylan Klebold’s 33rd birthday and the Tumblr community of his fans, known as Columbiners, spent the day mourning as they did every year. Their ritual was interrupted when Chardon High School shooter T.J. Lane escaped from prison that evening, throwing the true crime community into a frenzy. Structured as a theatrical Tumblr, REB + VoDKa + ME follows a girl through the events of that day, her own eighteenth birthday, exploring the quest for community and understanding of the misunderstood.

Pregnancy Pact

Music by Julia Meinwald
Book and Lyrics by Gordon Leary

Anita Bryant always knew that she was destined for greatness.  She just had to figure out what God wanted her to do.  She tried becoming Miss America, a pop star, a professional homemaker, a national treasure – all to no avail.  After becoming a cultural crusader, she finally knew she was living God’s plan.  But was it God’s plan to spur the gay rights movement with a single pie to the face?
