ON MY DEEN
by Antu Yacob directed by Amina Robinson (Fat Ham, Once On This Island, Intimate Apparel, The Color Purple)
World premiere, commissioned as part of The Philly Cycle (A new three-part play commission project. Sponsored by THE WILLIAM PENN FOUNDATION)
ON MY DEEN was written about and with Philadelphia’s Black Muslim Community.
West Philly. Spring 1962. Faye Ann has just joined the Nation of Islam, setting her life on a whole new path. Her best friend, Michael, would like to be a lot more than friends, but the two can’t seem to agree on religion, politics, or even what makes a good pie. Over the passing decades, personal circumstances and cultural upheavals bring Faye Ann and Michael together as much as they keep them apart. Can these would-be lovers find each other while seeking their own paths to peace?
PLEASE NOTE: Saturday performances of ON MY DEEN will be held at 10am & 3pm in observance of prayer.
Community partner: CAIR Philadelphia
ON MY DEEN. June 6-28. Videography and photography by Christopher Colucci.
