Joseph Huff-Hannon and Frack Theatre presents BULLETS OVER PRESCHOOL: A play about toddlers. With guns. Joseph Huff-Hannon

About This Show

A tragicomedy (with karoake and possibly a muppet) about America’s increasingly armed and dangerous toddlers, and a gun lobby that doesn’t know what to do about them. Our protagonist is a young guy with a macabre nickname, a heart of gold — and a secret from his past. When Wayne LaPoo, the powerful head of the National Machine Gun Association (NMGA), enlists our heroes help on an audacious plan to get guns into the hands of every toddler in America, will our young straight shooter become a pawn in the gun lobby’s game — or learn to choose love over fear?

***Performance to be followed by a brief Q&A and talk back with New Yorkers Against Gun Violence***
