This play was performed at the 2016 San Diego Internation Fringe Fesival where it received awards for Outstanding Direction and Best Actor in a Comedy. It was revived in 2019 and performed by college students of LBCC. This particular 2019 production was invited to perform at the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival Region 7 conference.
Sanctuary Stage's "I Got Guns" relies on the tropes and tradition of Italy's broad commedia dell'arte to deliver a political message about guns in America. The acting comedy displays boundless energy and crisp comic timing as well as some clever writing. - KPBS San Diego
