On-stage musical accompaniment will be provided by popular Arabic musicians from the NY/NJ metropolitan area.

This performance represents the culminaton of regular workshops conducted by MDTC with students at the WAE Center, whose resulting artwork will be on display outside the theater from noon to 6 PM.
