The Predator” is a play by Jack Gilroy that is being used by groups around the country to explore issues related to drone warfare and the larger questions of the militarization of our society.

The play revolves around a college student and some questions she is beginning to raise about her country’s conduct in the world, and what her own response should be. The other characters in the play are: the student’s Air Force officer mother, a U.S. senator, and an antiwar activist.
