Girl Be Heard Theatre Ensemble Premieres Show about Gun Violence
The dramatic ensemble Girl Be Heard will debut a new show, 9mm America, in an effort to stop gun violence. The playwrights and performers are ten girls, ages 14 to 23, who live in NYC neighborhoods where gun violence is a daily threat.
Joining Girl Be Heard’s cause for the June 1 premiere are several celebrities, including Nigel Barker, Lynn Nottage, Kathy Najimy and Abby Disney, who will lead celebrity talk-backs. The Planet Connections Theatre Festivity presents this premiere at the Robert Moss Theatre at 440 Lafayette Street, just south of Astor St., and a block west of the 8th St-NYU subway station on Broadway.
