Talking Points: Gun Safety

“From Grieving Father to Gun Safety Advocate”

Fred Guttenberg, public safety advocate and founder of the foundation “Orange Ribbons for Jaime.” On February 14, 2018, his 14-year-old daughter Jamie was gunned down at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. In his talk, Fred will describe his experience after the shooting, finding purpose by advocating for safer schools and communities, and by writing about his recovery from unimaginable loss.

BIG ARTS Talking Points series for the upcoming 2021 season can be accessed online for the same per-session charge as in-person attendance. Note that due to COVID-19 precautions, all of this season’s Talking Points speakers (with the exception of Kinfay Moroti on February 25) will be making virtual appearances via online connection and will not be physically present in the hall. Talking Points is designed to get you “talking,” so we hope to see many of you get comfortable at home, grab a snack and a drink of your choice, and log in!

You can live stream all the Talking Points sessions from home. During or following the talk, you will be able to text your questions and comments to the speaker. The program and remote login and participation instructions will be sent one week in advance of each session. For more information and to purchase tickets, call the box office at 239-395-0900.
