A Distinct Society – FTP

FIREHOUSE MAINSTAGE  A Distinct Society
Written and Directed by Kareem Fahmy
Nothing much ever happens in a quiet library that straddles the U.S.-Canada border… until now. When an Iranian father and daughter separated by the “Muslim ban” begin using the library as their only meeting place, five seemingly disconnected lives become deeply entwined. A French-Canadian librarian, a U.S. border patrol agent, a curious local teenager, and the separated family find their routines upended by compassion, conflict, and connection.
Inspired by true events, A Distinct Society is a funny and touching play about the things that divide and unite us: family, food, art, love, and politics.
