ReOrient 2026 Festival

Created & Performed by Denmo Ibrahim Directed by Sherrine Azab

Join us to be part of a beloved Golden Thread artist’s creative process on October 29-30! In this immersive workshop production, 2026 Playwright in Residence Denmo Ibrahim will be exploring this playful project’s audience interactive and storytelling elements. Each performance will be followed by a Q&A and feedback session with the creators.

General and show-specific auditions for our 2027 Season are coming up! Find our more about the shows, the roles, and the submission process now.

Hosts Marina Johnson and Nabra Nelson take a sweeping look at 30 years of MENA/SWANA theater in the U.S. – from Golden Thread’s founding in 1996 to a growing ecosystem of bold, community-rooted companies shaping the American stage through urgency, artistry, and refusal.
