ALAA: A Family Trilogy

Workshop Production

November 16 - 17, 2024 at Z Space

Written by Adam Ashraf Elsayigh
Directed by Evren Odcikin
Dramaturgy by Salma S. Zohdi

In 2011, blogger Alaa Abd El-Fattah became a leading voice of the Egyptian Revolution by fusing his activism and tech acumen, inadvertently following in his famous family’s activist legacy. Since then, he has spent much of the last decade in prison, unlawfully held by a military regime seeking to silence him and his family. Weaving writings and personal testimonials from Alaa and his family matriarchs, ALAA: A Family Trilogy is an epic and ambitious dramatization of a single family’s unwavering resistance at the heart of a nation’s fight for justice. This script-in-hand workshop presentation will focus on Mini-Revolutionaries, the second play in the Trilogy which follows the story of Alaa’s family from 2011 to 2014 through the Egyptian Revolution.

ALAA: A Family Trilogy is commissioned by Golden Thread Productions with support from the Gerbode Foundation. This presentation is part of the Z Space Technical Residency Program, supported by the Mellon Foundation.

GOLDEN THREAD TICKETING POLICIES Thank you for your interest in purchasing tickets! Our ticket pricing is a reflection of our continuing efforts to provide an equitable and accessible theatre experience for all. It is driven by three fundamental values we hold that we believe foster a just, inclusive and community-driven space.

All artists, staff, cast, and crew deserve fair and equal compensation.
Everyone should have access to a ticket price they find affordable.
No one should be turned away for lack of funds.

We offer a range of ticket prices designed to maintain financial flexibility for our audiences and financial stability for our artists. These price ranges include:

PAY IT FORWARD
Starting at $55, or $60 for our mainstage shows, Pay It Forward tickets are intentionally set at multiple price points up to $100 to support access to low-to-no cost tickets, like our Community Walk-ins.

COVID-19 SAFETY & PROTOCOLS

Golden Thread is a fully vaccinated company. Our health and safety protocols comply with current health and safety guidelines provided by the State of California and City of San Francisco. These policies will be updated if city guidelines change.

For the safety of our artists and fellow audience members, we strongly recommend all guests to wear well-fitted masks while inside the theater. Per CDC guidance, we encourage the use of procedural masks (either alone or with a cloth mask on top) or a higher grade N95 or KN95 mask instead of cloth masks alone.

At performances where concessions are served, we strongly recommend guests resume masking when not actively eating or drinking. The ability to take concessions into the theater will vary depending on the venue.
