LOVE IN THE TIME OF JONESTOWN
A Radio Play
Written by Omer Abbas Salem*
Directed by Sophiyaa Nayar
November 21 - December 12, 2021
Extended through December 19!
We want you to be safe - to feel supported. We want to create space for everything about you because we love you exactly as you are. We want to break oppressive systems and rebuild a world that not only accommodates all of us, but celebrates and fosters our beautiful individuality. All we ask is that you come with an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to dialogue. Welcome to Jonestown, we hope you'll stay.
Sinister and seductive, this brand new audio experience by Ensemble Member Omer Abbas Salem, directed by Sophiyaa Nayar, and associate directed by Nadya Naumaan explores the splendid ache of acceptance and the profound bliss of betrayal.
