[Socrates] Premiere of "There is a Portal" by Kayhan Irani at Godwin Ternbach on April 23rd

[Sophia Mcgee]

Dear Colleagues,

Just wanted to let you know that local playwright/actress Kayhan Irani will be premiering her one woman show "There is a Portal" in the Godwin Ternbach museum space in Klapper Hall next Monday April 23rd at 12:15 pm.

This is the second in a series of pieces that she is writing/imagining that explore the domestic war on terror and how fear and hatred have eaten away at the fabric of American society. This play is deeply personal - Irani weaves together childhood recollections and personal stories of immigration with the political history of US intervention in the Middle East and the propaganda that accompanies war and violence abroad.

RSVP via the following link (so that we have an idea of numbers!):
