WORLD PREMIERE
Written by Atra Asdou
Directed by Dalia Ashurina

Join us for this hilariously chaotic new satire, written by Ensemble Member Atra Asdou and directed by Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient, Dalia Ashurina. Iraq, But Funny follows five generations of Assyrian women attempting to reclaim their story as it’s being narrated by some British guy. Marching through time and space, this journey from the Ottoman Empire to modern-day U.S.A. is filled with history, family, dysfunction, razor-sharp wit, and off-the-wall humor, culminating in a riotous reckoning you won’t want to miss!

May 29 – July 20, 2025
