A Distinct Society by Kareem Fahmy


  • Pioneer Theatre Company at the University of Utah (UT) 300 S. 1400 E., Room 325 Salt Lake City, UT 84112 (map)

A sleepy library that strategically straddles the U.S. and Canadian borders becomes an unlikely meeting place for separated families. Winner of the Next Act! New Play Summit, Fahmy tells the story five people from different countries and cultures choosing between breaking the law or saving themselves, while trying desperately to understand one another. Alliances are built and broken, borders are straddled, but love and human connection prevail.
