So excited to be included in this stellar group of artists as part of Noor Theatre Company's "48 Hour Forum."
Noor is an amazing theatre company doing absolutely vital work (they are New York's only theatre representing voices of the Middle Eastern diaspora.) I have no idea what I'll write - it depends at the news the day we all meet, 48 hours before the audience sees it!
Please come! @The Lark 311 W 43rd St, 5th Floor. Tickets available here.

"News is Fast. Theatre is Slow. Not this Time!
Immigration, ISIS, civil wars, stump speeches, domestic policy. Current events run the show at 48 Hour Forum, where a diverse roster of artists will rise to the challenge of spinning our most talked about news events into humorous, incisive "theatrical op-eds." Five playwrights, five directors, and a company of New York's hottest actors gather over 48 hours in a race to create theater as fast as a news cycle. This year's artists include playwrights Clare Barron (Obie winner, You Got Older, Page 73); Kara Corthron (AliceGraceAnon, Irondale Center); David Zellnik (Drama Desk nomination, Yank!, York Theatre); Leila Buck (In the Crossing, Culture Project, Women's Center Stage); Laith Nakli (Shesh Yak, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater); directors Pirronne Yousefzadeh (That High and Lonesome Sound, Humana Festival of New American Plays); Carlos Armesto (Artistic Director, Theatre C); and actors Christina-Maria Oliveras (Here Lies Love, The Public Theater) and Aysan Celik (JUÁREZ, A Documentary Mythology, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater/Theater Mitu).
