Williamston Theatre welcomes back an audience favorite in a one-woman show
Tickets for ‘Baba’ are now on sale
Williamston Theatre is presenting the Michigan premiere of Baba, by Denmo Ibrahim. Tickets are now on sale.
Audience favorite Sarab Kamoo (Be Here Now, 9 Parts of Desire) portrays both characters in a tender and touching father-daughter tale begins in 1980’s Manhattan. Trapped in the absurd circus of the office of US Passport & Immigration, Mohammed, an Egyptian immigrant, pleads his case – a passport for his little girl.
Forward to 2010’s and JFK Int’l Airport. His daughter Layla embarks on a journey halfway across the world in hopes of reclaiming the lost pieces of her culture, her father, and herself. A heartwarming family reunion thirty years in the making.
