Playwright Jamil Khoury
Directed by Ari Roth
Featuring Ahmad Kamal, Dylan Morrison Myers, Ari Roth, and Keith L. Royal Smith
Inspired by the Ground Zero Mosque controversy in New York City, Mosque Alert tells the story of three fictional families living in Naperville, Illinois, whose lives are interrupted by a proposed Islamic Center on the site of a beloved local landmark. Mosque Alert explores the intersections of zoning and Islamophobia with humor, family drama, and refreshingly blunt honesty.
Performed in partnership with Mosaic Theatre Company of D.C. and Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (select excerpts from play).
