Witness art, activism, and teen voices unite on stage in a vital evening of theater addressing gun violence. ENOUGH! Plays to End Gun Violence (enoughplays.com) is a nationwide theatre initiative that calls on teens to confront gun violence by creating new works of theatre that spark critical conversations and inspire meaningful action in communities across the country. The Kennedy Center’s Social Impact and Education departments is proud to host a performance of this year’s six bold 10-minute ENOUGH! plays by six remarkable young writers, selected by a committee of America’s most lauded professional playwrights including David Henry Hwang, Lauren Gunderson, and Idris Goodwin, among others. The evening is presented in collaboration with prominent DMV-area professional theaters, including Signature Theatre, Arena Stage, Round House Theatre, Imagination Stage, Olney Theatre Center, 1st Stage, and The Theatre Lab. The Kennedy Center performance is the cornerstone of a series of readings happening simultaneously across the country (enoughplays.com/reading) in more than fifty communities joining together, setting the stage for change, and saying, "Enough is enough."
