Ismael Loutfi: Heavenly Baba is presented by Emmy and Peabody Award winning actor and comedian Hasan Minhaj and directed by Greg Walloch. Heavenly Baba marks Ismael Loufti’s off-Broadway debut.

A nuanced discussion on identity, self-discovery, and belonging, Heavenly Baba examines the contradictions of growing up Muslim in America, and invites audiences into a world shaped by devotion, contradiction, and generational love.
