Michelle Azar's acclaimed solo play explores her richly layered American, Israeli, and Middle Eastern heritage. Through storytelling, song, movement, and the live music

of oud and piano, she invites audiences into a deeply personal journey that becomes a shared human experience.

‍

Part memoir, part concert, and part conversation, the work explores identity, belonging, and the stories we inherit. By tracing the threads of her own ancestry, Michelle

reveals how the particulars of one life can illuminate something universal: our longing for home and our desire to be understood.

‍

In a time when divisions often feel louder than our common humanity, From Baghdad to Brooklyn offers another possibility. It is an invitation to share the sounds and

stories that shaped us, to listen deeply to one another, and to discover that home is often found in the act of telling—and hearing—each other's stories.
