Ellen Lewis
Has Her Own
Gun Story
To Share
For about a decade, Ellen Lewis
wrestled with a story she didn’t
want to tell. Eventually, she realized she had to tell it. It’s a
story about guns and her husband and why her husband is
no longer alive. If you think she
became 100 percent anti-gun,
you’d be wrong.
Lewis grew up in rural Oregon
in an area where everybody had
guns. She’s also spent time living on both coasts and heard
from people on both sides of
the issue. Her play, The Gun
Show, attempts to tell the story
from a human perspective — one
that’s conflicted and sees how
normal people could disagree
on the issue. Her goal is simply
to start a conversation about
guns, an honest conversation.
