“SOLD! Off to the American Dream!”
Freedom, but at what cost? A Palestinian immigrant and her family find more freedom in the US than expected.
A true-life storytelling show written and performed by Laila Lee, directed by Bill Pats. In this one-woman show, Laila brings to light her experiences growing up Muslim in the American South, and how she discovers her own place in the world and what sacrifices she must make.
Bill Pat’s experience in deeply personal comedies combine with a rich tapestry of design and Laila Lee’s theatre background to evoke the two very different cultures from which Laila emerges today - the Middle East and Florida. One place a land of deserts, banks, and the Kingdom Tower, the other full of lush flora, McDonald’s, and the Magic Kingdom. They’re both hot. They both have palm trees. And they both are war torn, just in different ways.
Laila Lee is a performer hailing from Tampa, Florida. Laila and Bill came upon each other’s work at Shameless Stories, Tampa, where the pair began working together on The Light Bringer.
