A GOING AWAY PARTY PLAY - Boston Court Pasadena Theater
The story of Mina’s parents falling in love while fleeing the Iranian Revolution. The opening night of A GOING AWAY PARTY PLAY was at the Boston Court Pasadena. Written by Keyanna Khatiblou and directed by James Fowler, this world premiere is “a gorgeous ensemble exercise that explodes with theatrical energy” — OnStageLAblogspot. Starring a talented cast including Mehrnaz Mohammadi, Kodi Jackman, Nathan Mohebbi, Giovanny Camarena, and Cindy Nguyen, A Going Away Party Play brings to life Mina’s story as she throws a party for her closest friends—and for you, the audience. Throughout the evening, the friends play games, reflect on the current American socio-political landscape, and uncover profound truths about Mina’s parents’ love story and their escape from the Iranian Revolution. This play is a beautiful celebration of multicultural identities and deeply explores the meaning of home and exile.
