The Gaza Monologues Presented by Theatre of the Oppressed NYC

ASHTAR Theatre has launched an urgent request to its friends and theatremakers around the world to publicly read or perform The Gaza Monologues—testimonies written by ASHTAR youth in 2010, highlighting the fears, hopes, and resilience of Gazans—on 29 November, The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. This event is Theatre of the Oppressed NYC’s response to that request. 

Please join us on 29 November from 7-8:50pm EST to hear a selection of the monologues performed live in English, Arabic, and Spanish, followed by a brief discussion to identify activism resources and organizing opportunities. 

This event is free, but donations to ASHTAR Theatre’s psycho-social relief intervention program in the West Bank are encouraged.

This event is presented by Theatre of the Oppressed NYC in partnership with ASHTAR Theatre, Friends of ASHTAR NYC, Radical Evolution, The People’s Forum, and the Palestinian Youth Movement.

Interested in sponsoring this event? Please contact Max Raymond, TONYC’s Director of Communications, at [email protected].
