Shotgun Live In Las Vegas Feb. 3 - 4

Shotgun is a thought-provoking play set in post-Katrina New Orleans. In the words of The Times-Picayune in New Orleans, "playwright John Biguenet exposes with power and grace the wounds that remain and examines how they might best be healed."
The play follows a white man and his teenage son who rent half of a shotgun duplex from an African-American woman, whose father has lost his home in the Lower Ninth Ward and moved in with her. The two families find that more than just a wall runs between them. Shotgun explores whether this divide, like the city's levees, can be breached.
"Shotgun is not just play about an African American family sharing a roof with a white family. One of the lovely things about Shotgun is that it is less of a play about race and completely a play about people. At its core, Shotgun is about people and the similarities they share as human beings despite their differences."
Directed by Anthony R. Smith II and produced by A Source Of Joy Theatricals as the kick off to the 2012 Broadway In The Hood Season. Shotgun will play for 2 performances only February 3 & 4 at the West Las Vegas Theatre. All performances are free and open to the public!
