ENOUGH! Plays to End Gun Violence

Hendersonville Theatre presents ENOUGH! Plays to End Gun Violence.

ENOUGH! calls on teens to confront gun violence by creating new works of theatre that will spark critical conversations and inspire meaningful action in communities across the country. Founded in 2019 by director Michael Cotey, ENOUGH!’s mission is to promote playwriting as a tool for self-expression and social change, harnessing this generation’s spirit of activism and providing a platform for America’s playwrights of tomorrow to discover and develop their voices today.

Now in its fourth year, ENOUGH! has received more than 700 short plays by teen writers tackling gun violence.

More than 140 organizations across 41 states have participated in ENOUGH!’s three previous Nationwide Readings in 2020, 2022, and 2023, involving nearly 3,000 artists and reaching more than 14,000 people.

ENOUGH! is the recipient of the 2024 Theater for Young Audiences Community Impact Award and 2023 Goldin Foundation Exemplary Project Award.
