Kinan Azmeh & Kevork Mourad in Home Within

The Lark, in partnership with Golden Thread Productions and Silk Road Rising, invites you to The 2016 Middle East America Convening. Our plans for the convening, a follow-up to the meeting we had in 2012, will take place over a day and a half and include “reports from the field” on strides that members of the Middle Eastern American theater community have made over the last few years; conversations about ongoing and potential collaborations amongst MEA artists, and with our colleagues in the Middle East; and a celebration of the writers who received the MEA Playwright Fellowship: Mona Mansour, Yussef El Guindi & Adriana Sevahn Nichols. We also plan to present, over the course of the convening, readings of excerpts from the work of 2014 Fellowship awardee, Mona Mansour, as well as those who received Honorable Mention in 2014 MEA Fellowship process: Bianca Bagatourian, Ismail Khalidi, Daria Polatin, Misha Shulman, & Zohar Tirosh-Polk.
