Golden Thread Productions 2026 Season
Written by: Denmo Ibrahim
Rehearsals: 4/5 through 4/8
Performances: 4/10, 4/11 & 4/12
Synopsis: A baker, a mystic, and a falcon walk into an office one stormy night… Rabia Haddad is on a mission to discover a lost history. But as she builds her map, the archive begins to talk back, blurring the lines between testimony, memory, and myth. Could it be that the one story she needs most is her own? A play about inheritance, letting go, and the desire to belong to something larger than yourself, A Country Made of Salt invites us to reflect on the stories we keep — and what stories keep us.
Rehearsal begins: 8/31
Performances: 10/9 – 11/1
Written by: Hassan Abdulrazzak
Synopsis: A young woman, murdered in a genocide, pitches her story to a theatre artistic director who is reluctant to put it on stage.
Written by: Ahmed Masoud
Synopsis: Thaer is a thirteen-year-old boy on a boat in the waters between Turkey and Greece; something is troubling him and it is not the fact that he might drown at any minute. Nibal is a seventeen-year-old girl finishing her SAT exams in an American-style school in Ramallah. She is constantly refusing marriage proposals from well-suitors, but she can’t resist one guy. Twenty-year-old Zeid is a taxi driver in Gaza who is using Tinder to try to find a date. Sami’s dream is to become a famous actor; he has to play a few roles in Haifa in order to build his CV and get known by Israeli established directors. Camouflage is a one-person show, which presents a collage of theatrical genres taking the audience on a journey of what it means to live under occupation.
Written by: Banafsheh Hassani
Synopsis: A new solo show inspired by a true story: the classic Greek tragedy of Antigone, war photography, a weak memory, a revolution, state propaganda, a song she sang, and cringe diaspora poetry where “every line is a call to action.”
Written by: Hasti Jafari Jozani
Synopsis: Two friends develop a weekly ritual of attending the Iranian diaspora protests in San Francisco every weekend, trying to prevent their countrymen from being executed in the Islamic Republic prisons. But their differences become more disastrous with each passing day, and as activism takes a toll on them, it takes everything they’ve got to not murder each other.
Written by: Hannah Khalil
Synopsis: It tells the true story of Mary Manning, a young shop worker in Dublin in the 1980s who refused to handle a South African grapefruit and convinced her coworkers to strike. It took years of hardship, but the women kept their nerve and eventually their actions led to a fundamental change in the Irish government’s attitude to apartheid — they stopped trade with South Africa, proving boycotts can work.
