Event Of The Social Season
By Mitch Berg
“Protect” Minnesota – the gun grabber group that’s been washed away from the front of Minnesota’s gun-grabber crowd by a sea of Michael Bloomberg money – is having an event.
And not just any event. Nosirreebob – it’s their “signature” event (emphasis added):
Dear Heinrich,
I’m pleased to invite you to our signature annual event at the Capri Theater on Monday, June 29.
SAFE: A Benefit to End Gun Violence is a celebration of community and safety featuring a musical theater concert to benefit Protect Minnesota. Directed by Joshua Campbell, SAFE! is a concert with performances from some of the most renowned local theater artists: Aimee K. Bryant, Ann Michaels, Jennifer Grimm, Kasono Mwanza, Tre Searles, and Katie Bradley.
So I wonder if the esteemed cast and crew are getting paid for this “benefit?” Director Josh Campbell appears to be a working actor/director (much respect!) – i.e., one would expect he’d be too smart to do it gratis.
The show features songs from pop, rock, and musical theater that celebrate safety and community with short plays, scenes, and monologues reflecting on gun violence interspersed throughout. If you’ve been with us the past two years, you know that this will be a show you won’t want to miss.
Now, this will be the third year for this particular event (or so Rep. Martens’ email says); representatives of the Human Rights movement have found themselves barred from the event in the past.
But I may just try to make a point of being there on the “red carpet” to see who shows up
(It’s Monday, June 29th at 6:30 PM at the Capri Theater, 2027 West Broadway)

I’ll have to express my displeasure to Jennifer Grimm that she’s performing.

Since they’re trying to enhance community safety, I’m sure they’ll let you carry there, right?
