As a National Committee Reader for the BAPF 2022, ARAB SPRING was a delight to experience! Ibrahim has deftly woven a story about loss and discovery with humor and heart. When a career-driven daughter and her recovering addict brother meet to plan their father’s funeral, each must come to grips with conflicting beliefs, relationships, and loss. ARAB SPRING proves Ibrahim is not only a force on stage, but also very talented with a pen. With wonderful dialogue for actors to sink their teeth into, I highly recommend this gem. #BAPF2022

Finally a MENA script that does not make us relive trauma from our Motherlands. Arab Spring is an incredible dark comedy that is so close to my heart. But not only is it relatable, the sincerity, authenticity, and heart that Denmo brings to life in these characters is on another level. The comedy is clever, the story is heartfelt, and all comes works so well together. She gives us glimpse of what life is like living as a muslim family in modern day America, a life I'm personally all too familiar with, but anyone can appreciate this incredible writing!

The writing in Arab Spring, is incredible! Everything that art is meant to create, all happens within this play. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, and it makes you see yourself. Words will never do this incredible piece, justice. This story may follow the lives of an Arabic family, but it is relatable regardless of ethnic background. Denmo did a phenomenal job not only making this story relevant to all, but also gave us a glimpse into the arabic culture and arabic women, to be specific. An amazing story that our world needs to hear...GETS to hear!
