A bit about the play- 

Over Here by Meron Langsner

Directed by Katherine Harte-DeCoux

Produced by Mortal Folly Theatre and Jaki Silver

Visual and Projection Design- by OMTA: Tal and Omer Golan

Featuring: Mohit Gautam, Naren Weiss and Mickey Ryan

In the summer of 2002, two college students form an unlikely friendship during their days working on a construction site not far from where the Towers stood.  They grew up in different worlds, one Palestinian-American and the other an Israeli immigrant.  The young men are able to bond over their shared outsider status over here, especially in the wake of 9/11, but when a suicide bombing back home affects both of their families, can their fledgling friendship survive?  

This play is deeply personal and always provokes conversation, and we're thrilled about this opportunity to share it with you.  

This is sure to be a compelling and memorable night at the theatre, and We sincerely hope you can join us in the audience!

Help us make this the best production possible with your donations and you can get tickets to the show, a mention in our program, a shout out on social media- and MORE! Sit down over falafel with the Playwright and Director!  Attend a rehearsal and meet the cast!  You could even receive a custom-made aluminum knife or sword from Gotham Armory!     

    The fastest way to help...
    -  is by making a donation through PayPal, since we can receive those donations instantly and can put them to work in our design budget.
