Pretty Shahid: A Red Orchid Incubator Workshop Production
Written by Omer Abbas Salem
Directed by Laura Alcalá Baker
Featuring: Omer Abbas Salem, Gloria Imseih Petrelli, Sahar Dika, Adoni Esho, Debo Balogun, Sarah Price, Em Modaff, and Yourtana Sulaiman
A young Iraqi immigrant is hit in the head with a thrown bottle the day after 9/11 and he wakes up sounding just like his favorite American – Julia Roberts. As he and his family navigate the racist days that followed the tragic day, he uses his new voice and lost memory to become more American. This is a play about assimilation and what we choose to forget about ourselves to fit in. It’s a romantic comedy, though. And gay. And has singing and dancing, just like any Julia Roberts movie, but way more political resistance. Please join us for some culture, comedy, and an uprising!
