Off White; Or the Arab House Party Play

By Alyssa Haddad-Chin
BIPOC Theatre Class Assignment

"Taking place in the early 2000s, Off-White; Or the Arab House Party Play follows Leila, a half white, half Arab-American teen who never felt like an outsider until she's absent from school on 9/11. As her classmates' suspicions of her grow, Leila grapples with the erratic fluctuation of the perception of her identity, so she does what any reasonable high schooler would do to resurrect their reputation - throw the house party of the century" (New Play Exchange).


While this was not an actual production, I am very proud of the work I did on this project. Researching the history of immigration in the United States and creating a timeline really helped me connect with the piece and understand the play better.
