The creative team brings together playwright and performer Ahmad Meree and director Radwan Taleb, with dramaturgy by Ric Knowles and Shannon Pitre (performer), Nicole Eun-Ju Bell (projection designer), Majd Sukar (sound designer), Paula Bornacelli (stage manager), and Cameron Slipp (production manager).
