I Heart Hamas Returns to SF 2 Nights Only
FINAL BAY AREA PERFORMANCES
The critically acclaimed show returns to SF for one weekend only.

Written & Performed by Jennifer Jajeh
Directed by W. Kamau Bell
With the current ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, the threat of global terrorism, and the never-ending negotiations and hostilities between Israelis and Palestinians, it's hard not to feel overwhelmed by all of the bad international news. That's exactly how Jennifer feels. And to make matters worse, Jennifer is Palestinian. Well, Palestinian American. Or more precisely: a single, Christian, first generation, Palestinian American woman who chooses to return to her parents' hometown of Ramallah at the start of the Second Intifada.
Join her on American and Palestinian soil on auditions, bad dates, and across military checkpoints as she navigates the thorny terrain around Palestinian identity. Weaving together humour, storytelling, multimedia, live theatre and pop culture references, Jajeh explores how she becomes Palestinian-ized, then politicized and eventually radicalized in this fresh, often funny, searingly honest solo show.
"I Heart Hamas is an exceptional success...funny, engaging, complex, challenging and poignant. Well worth seeing." -LA Theatre Review
