Nancy Halden of the Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah explains this unique event: "A live forge demonstration featuring a skilled blacksmith transforming surrendered firearms into functional garden tools."
Apr 9-10: Arms Around America | 7:30 PM @ Kingsbury Hall, SLC. Dan Froot of his eponymous L.A.-based theater group joins the show to talk about AAA, which is based on stories of families whose lives have been shaped by guns. Book-length oral histories of families in South Florida, Western Montana, and Southern California were transformed into audio dramas that became a podcast and eventually a live show.
