The Gun Show, by EM Lewis<\/p><\/div>\n

Solo show for one male actor, to be\u00a0performed with\u00a0the playwright. \u00a0(Entirely solo version also available.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

60 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

From a farming community in rural Oregon to the big cities of Los Angeles and New York, playwright EM Lewis takes aim at her own relationship with firearms in “The Gun Show.” \u00a0An\u00a0actor\u00a0shares Ms. Lewis\u2019s unique perspective and true stories about America\u2019s most dangerous pastime as if they were his own, with brutal honesty and poignant humor. Leaning neither right nor left, \u201cThe Gun Show\u201d jumps into the middle of the gun control debate, and asks \u201cCan we have a conversation about this?\u201d<\/p>\n

World premiere at 16th Street Theater in Chicago in the summer of 2014, directed by Kevin Christopher Fox, and starring Juan Francisco Villa. \u00a0Nominated for a Jeff Award for Best Solo Show!<\/strong><\/p>\n
