One of Hollywood’s much-heralded gun control initiatives, designed to counteract gun violence seen in popular films, has made its way from Tinseltown to the bright lights of Broadway.
Producers of the upcoming “Oklahoma!” revival announced on Tuesday that the production would be joining the Gun Neutral Initiative, a program that donates money to weapon prevention nonprofits every time a firearm is pictured in a scene. It’s the first time a stage production has joined the movement, which was spearheaded by the production company Level Forward last year.
“Oklahoma!” producer Eva Price formally announced the move during a Sundance Film Festival panel titled “See Change: The Call for Gun Neutral Entertainment.” Price later tweeted that she was “proud” and “honored” to work on the first theater production to join the initiative.
