Judith Sloan and Najla Said '96 present a new work-in-progress, Imperfect Allies: Children of Opposite Sides, directed by Suzanne Agins '97. Through dialogue, memories, historical records, poetry, images, and humor, two women explore how their Jewish-American and Palestinian-American backgrounds have shaped their identities, their friendship, and their understanding of the conflicting narratives over Israel/Palestine. In this soul-breaking moment, they find tangible ways to have increasingly difficult conversations, while steadfastly denouncing Israel’s obliteration of Gaza. Their journey is a collaboration that challenges even the strongest relationship.

Performances will be followed with an opportunity for audience members to practice the art of listening to one another.
