ORIENTAL by Evren Odcikin

Co-presented by Art2Action, Inc. and directed by Eady, this “taut and provocative two-character play” (DC Theater Arts) will be presented at The Garret, on the fifth floor of the A.C.T.’s Toni Rembe Theater in San Francisco.

Five women embark on a pilgrimage to Mecca. Noor, an Afghan American immigrant, must fulfill her sister’s last wish. Will this pilgrimage bring the five women closer, or will secrets, rivalries, and old wounds tear them apart? This world premiere production is a co-production with Z Space and is directed by Michelle Talgarow.

As the U.S. Government ramps up its attack on immigrants, vilification of Middle Eastern countries and people, and active defunding of the Arts, we must stand together to fight back. Please consider supporting Golden Thread to make sure that our work continues to grow and thrive.
