Mike Daisey is the preeminent monologist of our time, telling groundbreaking stories about our world that matter.
Now Daisey tackles his most provocative subject yet: our national relationship with guns. Throwing away easy answers and partisan bickering, Daisey tells the story of the gun in America: how did it evolve as a weapon? What has gun ownership meant in our history? What does it mean for us as a people now? The debate over guns has never been more rancorous as Daisey cuts through the political static with a blend of hilarious comedy, brilliant observation, and pitchperfect timing.
In the end, no one can doubt the power of the gun.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
THURSDAY thru SATURDAY @ 8 PM
