Arab Spring is a biting dark comedy about loss, grief, and the petty wars we wage in family to belong. Yusef, a recovering addict and Dina, his controlling big sister, return on the 4th of July to their childhood home in the suburbs to bury their deadbeat father. Can they figure out a) how to do his Islamic funeral before the body goes cold, b) who their estranged father really was, and c) what family really means without killing each other? Inshallah.

*Winner of "Best Original Script" by San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle.

1982, Manhattan. Trapped in the absurd circus of the office of US Passport & Immigration, a desperate father pleads his case—a passport for his little girl—revealing in the process the price he paid for the American Dream. Thirty years later, his daughter Layla embarks on a journey halfway across the world in hopes of reclaiming the lost pieces of her culture, her father, and herself.

When Zaynab Azzam first moved with her mom from Cairo to Kentucky, she had trouble fitting in. Two years later, Zaynab is still struggling to make friends. When she gets invited to her first slumber party, she believes this might be her chance to finally belong! But there’s only one problem: it’s the last ten days of Ramadan and one of these will be the holiest night of the year. When her mom says no to the party, Zaynab's tears of disappointment unlock a doorway into the Sahara desert where, ready or not, she begins the quest of a lifetime.

Her father was a fisherman. Her mother was a fish. Raheem, a young Irish-Egyptian woman of mixed heritage is in culinary school in Brooklyn and discovers an underwater abyss she must traverse to discover her true origin.

Follow a company of actors creating a play about third culture kids born and raised in Bay Ridge, a predominantly Arab neighborhood in Brooklyn. They rehearse. They perform. They search for a story. Meanwhile, the youngest characters break free of the script, build a rocket ship and blast off into space. An investigation of community, freeze tag, the U.S. Census, acrylic vs gel nails, and space travel.
