HAYATI
We were thrilled to kick off The First Draft Series with a 29-Hour Developmental Reading of Hayati, a new play by TLTC CORE Member Leah Mijalski-Fahim.
Over the course of a dinner, three generations of the Wahid family sit for their weekly reunion at an Arabic restaurant. While the night starts casually, it progresses into something out of the ordinary. Nothing can be swept under the rug and kept there forever. It is left to each family member to decide how to get through the night, while grasping to preserve what is left of their rocky relationships.
Invited Presentation: April 26th, 2025

A one night only benefit reading with 50% of all proceeds went directly to Make The Road New York, an organization doing vital immigration advocacy work in our communities.
In post-9/11 Newark, NJ, two teenagers who were brought to America as children become one another’s sanctuaries from harsh circumstances. When G becomes naturalized, she and B hatch a plan to marry so that he may legally remain in the country and pursue the future he imagines for his life. But as time hurtles on and complications mount, the young friends find that this act challenges and fractures the closest relationship either has ever had.
Featuring Alex Ramirez Cannon, Samantha Chu, and Mark Yarde
