The Outstretched Hand at Cleveland Public Theatre

The Outstretched Hand dives into the lives of three young adults navigating their identities and connections to their heritage. Mira seeks independence from her family while maintaining ties, Sami journeys abroad to explore his roots, and Hassan struggles with the pressures of both work and familial obligations. This evocative piece highlights the complexities of cultural ties and personal growth. Jointly created by Raymond Bobgan and Masrah Cleveland Al-Arabi, it returns after a successful previous run, showcasing the rich narratives of Arabic-speaking communities.
