AN APOLOGY TO AND FROM A MOTHER

Adil Mansoor is a Virgo Pakistani-American theater queerdo. His mother is an Aquarian hijabi Quranic scholar. Since she discovered Adil’s queerness online, their once-close bond now needs rescue. In Amm(i)gone, a portmanteau of “ammi” (“mother” in Urdu) and the Greek heroine Antigone, Mansoor invites us on a journey of heartbreak and repair between mother and son as they embark on an examination and translation of Sophocles’ Antigone into Urdu. Passionately mining Greek tragedy, Islam, and their own memories, they seek to recover their love across faith.

TULIPA | Part of Greenhouse Reading Series

April 28 & 29

By Kate Douglas
Directed by Alison Ruth

Featuring Sarah Agnew

There was a brief moment in the 17th century when a plant could ruin your life. The tulip nearly toppled its economy and turned a stable society on its head. The flower became a luxury item with many individuals paying more for “broken” bulbs (a viral infection that “broke” the petal colors into two or more).

With this riveting time set as the backdrop, TULIPA is a sensual and surprising monologue telling the riches to rags story about a widow in Holland who loses everything in the name of tulips.
