Amir Kapoor is a successful lawyer at a prestigious Manhattan law firm. He is married to a beautiful woman and is trying to live a good life. When familial bonds tighten and conversations at a dinner party turn confrontational, racial and religious tension forces him to face his own ambition and stifled cultural identity. Called "terrific and turbulent" by The New York Times, Disgraced pulls no punches in its bold look at one man's experience as an American Muslim.

McCarter Theatre Center's production of Disgraced marks the culmination of a special programming partnership, being produced in conjunction with two highly respected companies in the world of professional regional theater: the Guthrie Theater (Minneapolis) and Milwaukee Repertory Theater.

The cast includes recent Barrymore Award nominee Maboud Ebrahimzadeh (Amir), who joins Adit Dileep (Abe), Kevin Isola (Isaac), Caroline Kaplan (Emily), and Austene Van (Jory) in the second leg of the production which began at the Guthrie Theater earlier in 2016.

Tickets for Disgraced start as low as $25.00 and are on sale now at www.mccarter.org, by phone at (609) 258-2787 or in person at the McCarter Theatre Box Office, located at 91 University Place in Princeton.
