Join us for a live-streaming of Masrah Cleveland Al-Arabi’s inaugural play Dream of Home حلم وطن and a post-show community conversation. In 2018, Masrah Cleveland Al-Arabi made its artistic debut with the world premiere of Dream of Home حلم وطن . Performing to sold-out audiences and featuring the founding ensemble artists of Masrah Cleveland Al-Arabi performing their own personal stories, Dream of Home حلم وطن was the beginning of Ohio’s first-ever theatre ensemble that is by, for, and with Arabic-speaking communities. Join via Zoom to witness and remember Masrah Cleveland Al-Arabi’s founding artistic success and stay after the showing for a community conversation with the ensemble.
