On the heels of a sold out show in Philadelphia, we are bringing the show to New York City! My hometown which will make this event all the more special!!
Not Without My Hijab is a stage play following the journey of Aneesa, teenage Muslim girl struggling with many of the societal issues teenagers face: bullying, self-acceptance, and self-confidence. Along with these issues, Aneesa is also experiencing a conflict of conscience as she strives to remain on the “straight path” of Islam in terms of her outward appearance. Wearing hijab has gotten her teased and even physically harassed on occasion. Aneesa is torn between donning her hijab with confidence, while navigating life as a teen attending public school in the big city, and not wearing it but continuing to practice her faith. Just how important is the hijab to her faith? Join us as we take an inside look at the struggle faced by more young people than we realize. The play will include Special Guest Performances TBA;
