Check out the photos below!
Before he won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for The Band’s Visit, Ari’el Stachel grew up in Berkeley, an Israeli American of Yemeni Jewish descent. Then came 9/11. Desperate to avoid taunts and threats at school, Ari hid his Middle Eastern background – setting off a years-long journey of trying on different identities, code switching, and navigating debilitating anxiety. Now a successful stage and screen actor, Ari comes home to Berkeley and joins with former Berkeley Rep artistic director Tony Taccone to tell his story in this new solo show that explores the intersections of race, mental health, and survival in a way that’s raw, authentic, and entertaining.
