WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Written by 2008 Winner of the Pew Fellowship in the Arts, Russell Davis' Mahida's Extra Key To Heaven is a poetic, funny, and haunting story about crossing borders of all kinds. Thomas is visiting his mother's island home when he encounters Mahida, an Iranian college student stranded after an argument with her brother. The two strangers begin a beautifully awkward search for a common country, but discover that sometimes the smaller the world the bigger the invasions.
All performances will be followed by a post-show discussion.
