Photo Flash: First Look at DISGRACED at NextStop Theatre
On Saturday September 9, 2017, NextStop Theatre Company, a professional black-box theatre near Reston Town Center, opened the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama "Disgraced" by Ayad Akhtar. In the play, audiences experience a New York City dinner party that becomes a powder-keg of prejudice and identity politics surrounding Muslim assimilation in America.
Check out a first look at the production, which runs through October 1st, below!
Jesse Bahmrah stars as Amir, a Pakistani-American who has sacrificed greatly to find success as a Manhattan corporate lawyer. Joining Bahmrah are actors Nahm Darr ("Abe"), Jordan Friend ("Isaac"), Chaela Phillips ("Jory"), and Jenna Rossman ("Emily").
