Carrboro High School students are using the performing arts to address gun violence.
Students will be performing “A Night for the Fight Against Gun Violence,” featuring student-produced short plays, monologues and a documentary addressing gun violence.
Tickets are $5.00 for students, $10.00 for adults, and admission is free for faculty.
This event was planned before today’s school shooting in Texas, which claimed the lives of 10 individuals. The shooting in Santa Fe is far from the first school shooting of the year and students around the country have been advocating for increased gun control in light of these tragedies.
In March, students from the local area joined in a nation-wide walkout on the one month anniversary of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida that left 17 people dead. A second walkout was also coordinated in April on the anniversary of the Columbine shootings in 1999.
The event tonight begins at 7:30pm.
