What happens when respected playwrights like Lauren Gunderson and David Henry Hwang team up with 1
st Stage to produce an online reading of seven plays written by teens from around the county focusing on gun violence and headlined by acclaimed local acting talents? On December 14, 2020, we found out. It was a profoundly moving and encouraging evening of 1
st Stage’s Zoom production of “#Enough-Plays to End Gun Violence.” That date was chosen because it marked the 8
th anniversary of the shootings at Sandy Hook.
Bravo to all the young playwrights for opening up their hearts and minds by reminding us about gun violence in this country.
