Taking place in the early 2000s, Off-White; Or the Arab House Party Play follows Leila, a half white, half Arab-American teen who never felt like an outsider until she's absent from school on 9/11. As her classmates' suspicions of her grow, Leila grapples with the erratic fluctuation of the perception of her identity, so she does what any reasonable high schooler would do to resurrect their reputation - throw the house party of the century.

This is a developmental reading, so please join us for a discussion following the staged reading. In the lobby after the event, there will be a small gathering.
