Amidst breaking news of the first Gulf War, tragedy forces a Palestinian-American family to move from Las Vegas to Columbus, Ohio, upending their lives. Jamil struggles to hold himself and his family together as the world becomes unbalanced and terror can no longer be buried behind closed doors. Sadieh Rifai’s thriller of a new play examines how a family across cultures and generations leans into love and humor in the face of global turmoil and a fracturing American dream.
Kirsten Fitzgerald, H. Adoni Esho, Aaliyah Montana, Ashley Neal, Omer Abbas Salem, Guy Van Swearingen, Natalie West, and John Judd continue in their roles throughout the extension. The role of Noor is played through the original run by Milla Liss; Iman Kamel steps into the role for the extension from March 20 - 23.
