[THEATRE] WROL: Without Rule of Law April 10-12

[Dwayne Butchino]

The SUNY Plattsburgh Department of Theatre will be producing Michaela
Jeffery’s WROL (Without Rule of Law) as part of our Spring 2026 offerings.
This play will be performed in the Hartman Theatre within the John Myers
Building on the SUNY Plattsburgh Campus.

In the garage of her suburban duplex, twelve-year-old Josephine makes
apocalypse preparedness videos and posts them to YouTube. Vic takes
Jujitsu. Maureen encrypts her text messages and hordes matches (because
lighters fail). Sarah stuffs her knapsack with extra socks, granola, water
filtration tablets and Tolkien novels, because “you don’t know where you’re
going to be… when it happens… you might not be at home.” Convinced the
world at large can’t be trusted to prioritize the well-being of adolescent
girls in the event of a cataclysmic event (or just in general), this
determined troupe of 8th grade ‘doomers’ are committed to preparing for
survival in the post-collapse society they anticipate inheriting. Judy
Blume meets Rambo, WROL (Without Rule of Law) is a darkly comic
coming-of-age story for complicated times. (from

Director Shawna Mefferd Kelty had this to say about the play: “WROL is such
an incredibly relevant play. It's more than a coming of age story.  It's
about how these young characters create agency in a world where voices, in
particular the voices of young women, have been silenced.”

WROL (Without Rule of Law) runs April 10 to 11, starting at 7:30 p.m., and
April 12 at 2 p.m. in the Hartman Theatre within the John Myers Building.
General Admission is $12, with $5 tickets available to all S.A. Members.
Tickets will be available at our digital box office (
https://campusgroups.plattsburgh.edu/musthe/events/), or at our CASH ONLY
box office an hour before the event begins.
