Actors Collaborative Toledo will present “On the Exhale,” one-woman show featuring Marissa Rex, of Perrysburg, Sunday, June 4, at 3 p.m. in the main sanctuary at Trinity Episcopal Church, in observance of The National Gun Violence Awareness Weekend.

The one-performance only show closes out ACT’s 2022/23 season.

“On the Exhale” by Martin Zimmerman is a carefully wrought study of a mother undone by loss. The play approaches the subject of American gun violence from a startlingly original perspective. When a random act of gun violence tears one woman’s world apart, she finds herself caught in the cross hairs of power lost and, very possibly, regained.

The performance will feature a talk-back afterwards with director Jeffrey Albright, Rex, and members of the community who are working to combat gun violence in the community.

ACT originally produced the show in the fall of 2021 and is bringing it back for a special performance in observance of The National Gun Violence Awareness Weekend #wearorange.

Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for seniors and college or high school students (16+). Tickets may be purchased in advance at www.act419.org or at the door beginning one hour before the performance. 

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a local organization fighting gun violence in our community.
