BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — 7 News is a voice for everyone. Today, we want to amplify the voices of local high school students who, through the art of theatre, are calling for action against gun violence.
ENOUGH! Plays to End Gun Violence is a series of six plays written by local high school students that are advocating for a change in gun legislation in the United States. The plays are meant to spark critical conversations surrounding gun violence with the hope of inspiring meaningful change across the country.
"To invoke this act of change in our community is very important to me," Cheektowaga High School Student and Actor McKenna Czeladzinski said. "I'm so incredibly lucky to be apart of this production."
The actors hope the message will be loud and clear to the audience.
"I hope they [the audience] will finally understand how serious this issue of gun violence is," Cheektowaga High School student and Actor Amirah Proctor said. "I'm hoping teens speaking up about it will get through that this is actually serious."
Following the play, a representative from the Buffalo Chapter of Moms Demand for Gun Sense in America will host a conversation about gun violence in America. The audience will have the chance to ask questions and create dialogue on the issue.
The play starts at 7PM at the Alleyway Theatre in Buffalo. Standing room and waiting list tickets will be available an hour prior to showtime. Admission is free.
