Noor Theatre Presents a Reading of Denmo Ibrahim’s Baba

Noor Theatre's second-annual HIGHLIGHT reading series concludes with Baba, written and performed by Denmo Ibrahim and directed by Isis Saratial Misdary. The reading will take place on Monday, December 5th at 7:30pm at New York Theatre Workshop's 4th Street Theatre in New York City.

Baba is a wildly unexpected story of love and forgiveness between a daughter and the memory of her estranged Egyptian father. As she embodies his last crucial moments in the U.S. waiting for a passport, she realizes – through literally being in his shoes – why kidnapping his child was the only solution left. Hailed by nytheatre.com as "stunning and revelatory," Baba and this exciting new artist are not to be missed!

She has performed for A.C.T., Aurora Theatre, Huntington Theatre and the Vineyard Playhouse among others; she has been nominated for the Irene Ryan Acting Award and Joseph Jefferson Award for Best Lead Actress.
