In college I once took a very promising first date to a touring Broadway play on our campus, without first checking any reviews or learning what the play was about.
“Night Mother” was almost three hours of a depressed, single, suicidal woman discussing the ending of her life all evening with her similarly unpleasant mother, before the stage goes dark and a shot rings out.
For that you need to attend the talk-backs arranged after every performance at Flashpoint’s Mead Theatre Lab. There you will hear from groups such as Moms Demand Action, We the People for Sensible Gun Laws, Little Friends for Peace and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence
No agenda there. None whatsoever.
The rub is that theater people feel they’re not allowed to make overtly political art. They’ll be shouted down for “lecturing.” It’s a form of soft censorship.
It’s not the pro-gun folks who do the “shouting down” and browbeating.
That tactic is reserved for the progressive liars that know facts are not on their side.
I declined a second date based upon her response to that play, which was to tell me afterward how messed up mentally she was, for two more hours of fun. Even in college I knew the rule about my dick and sticking it in crazy.
If “there’s no politics” then why would you hear from anti-gun political groups afterward. Otherwise, you would hear pro armed defense side too or the message would be a neutral, pro-choice one.

Worst. First. Date. Ever.

@mikee – Was she hot and did you get a second date?

Of course she was hot! Hence the first date!

Everything is political. Even the weather.
