New Play on Gun Violence - 
Benefit Performance for Echoes on April 26
 
The theater company Houses on the Moon is presenting two powerful plays on gun violence: The Assignment - a fictional play which "explores the long-term emotional toll of violence from both sides of the gun barrel, and the struggle to forgive others and ourselves," as well as the collection of true stories from their storytelling workshops "gUN COUNTRY."   Both plays incredibly powerful by all accounts. The performance of gUN COUNTRY on April 26th will be a benefit for Echoes of Incarceration - and we'll be speaking on a panel after the performance. Please come out for what is sure to be a great evening.
