Search this Collection
In April of 2019, FSCJ Dramaworks presented The Repossession of James Edward Pough: Mass Shooting in Baymeadows, a play written by Prof. Tim Gilmore based on the 1990 shooting at the GMAC Payment Center in Jacksonville. Considered to be one of the first workplace mass shootings in U.S. history, the massacre on June 18, 1990 shocked the nation and the city of Jacksonville. The shooter, James Edward Pough, committed suicide after he killed nine people and wounded several more. The dialogue in the play is taken primarily from direct interviews with family and friends of the victims, as well as survivors of the tragedy, and gives a new perspective on the ongoing epidemic of gun violence in our society. This production features 15 student actors and more than 10 crew members from all areas of the First Coast.
Note: This play contains strong language and content some may find disturbing and is not recommended for audiences under 17.
This show ran at FSCJ's Wilson Center for the Arts April 11-14, 2019. This video was taken at a dress rehearsal.
A recording of this performance is available in Canvas Commons for viewing by FSCJ faculty and staff. For instructions on how to access archival video in Canvas, please see our FAQ.
