TRUE STORY THEATER: "Gun Buyback and Why it Matters"

Sunday, June 23
Join a community conversation and performance with True Story Theater about the Gun Buy-Back program in Arlington and why it matters – hosted at the Calvary Church.
5pm Community Dinner
6pm Performance with True Story Theater

Learn about the buyback program in Arlington and other towns.
Share your stories and hear stories from others about why this program matters. On the spot, actors then portray the heart of what they heard using music, movement, and dialogue.

From this simple interaction, people laugh, cry, share fresh insights, and bond.  Our events create a respectful atmosphere where every voice can be heard and any story told — however ordinary or extraordinary, difficult or joyful. True Story Theater offers audiences fresh perspectives, deeper connections, and a renewed appreciation for our common humanity.
