Dates: 6/7/2026

📍 Theatre:
Open Book Performance Hall


How to Lose a Prince in 10 Paintings is a theatrical adaptation inspired by the Palestinian folktale "Abu Jameel's Daughter," written by Kayla Karnesky and directed by Sherrine Azab. The play follows Rida, a young woman who makes a dangerous bargain to become beautiful, only to find herself courted by Prince Alwan in a world that values her appearance over her voice. As a trio of Sisters weave fate and mischief from the shadows, Rida's story unfolds through a series of "paintings" that reveal the cost of silence and the power of being truly heard. The reading features cast members including Bruce Abas, Noor Adwan, Zeyy Fawaz, Leor Benjamin, Hanen Bouchrit, Wasima Farah, Joey Haddad, Christine Harb, Nader Helmy, Taous Khazem, Tony Larkin, Alexander Attea, Ifrah Mansour, Kayla Karnesky, Michael Quadrozzi, Bahdoon Ahmad, Amir Shereef, Shavunda Brown, and Aamera Siddiqui.
