The Mecca Tales

by Resident Playwright Rohina Malik
Directed by Rachel Edwards Harvith, Chicago Dramatists Associate Artistic Director

Five American Muslim women of diverse cultural backgrounds meet for the first time in Mecca during the Islamic pilgrimage known as the Hajj. Each pilgrim is encouraged to reveal her unique and personal reason for making this journey. The women must choose whether to reveal themselves and go forward, or to guard their stories and stay behind. The Mecca Tales explores the power of ritual and redemption, and what it means to be an American Muslim Woman.

Performances: March 13 to April 12

The winning bidder will receive two tickets to "The Mecca Tales".
