On Saturday, March 6th at 7 pm EST, timed in conjunction with International Women s Day, Neighbors for Refugees, a Larchmont, New York-based nonprofit, will premiere a virtual reading of In Her Words: Refugee Women s Stories on Stage. Playwright Beth Blatt devised the play from interviews conducted with six women from all around the globe. Zachary Moore, an accomplished theatre educator and director, directs.
The play s mission is to give voice to the issue of immigration in all its complexities. It tells the true stories of six women who fled Rwanda, Myanmar, Honduras, Syria, the Gambia, and Kazakhstan to come to the U.S. The character from Syria is played by the real woman Blatt interviewed, Amina Ahmad, bringing the play to life in a profound and meaningful way.
