Upcoming Projects !
Adam serves as the Associate Artistic Director for Target Margin Theater in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
Adam and his collaborator Mona Kasra were awarded a commission from the Lortel Theater for their project - IN THE SPACE BETWEEN.
In the Space Between is an experimental theater piece the explores the MENA diasphora experience of navigating the space between exile and home. Inspired by the works of Chekhov, Strindberg, Churchill, Kennedy, Taha and more, this work integrates theater, movement, and digital media to investigate the tension between resilience and vulnerability, remembering and forgetting, and here and there.
He is currently working with award-winning playwright, Alyssa Haddad-Chin, on a new project - TONY SHALHOUB IS MY DADDY.
A playwright and director are commissioned to create the definitive Great Arab-American Drama, but quickly discover that no such blueprint exists. In trying to forge their own path, they are pulled into a magical lamp that sends them spiraling down a meta-theatrical fantasia of American classics, pop cultural touchstones, and our geopolitical consciousness that threatens their return home and questions and confronts what it means to be an Arab-American artist.
Adam continues to serve as a reader for Playwrights’ Center, National Playwrights Conference at the O’Neill, and National Showcase of New Plays for NNPN.
