I Heart Hamas is the critically acclaimed introspective one-woman show written and performed by Jennifer Jajeh, a single, Catholic, first-generation, Palestinian American woman who returned to her parents' hometown of Ramallah at the start of the Second Intifada. Join her on American and Palestinian soil as she recounts auditions, bad dates, and military checkpoint experiences. Weaving together humor, pop culture references and live theater, Jajeh explores how she becomes Palestinian-ized, politicized and eventually radicalized in a fresh, funny, searingly honest way. After this San Francisco show, Jajeh and crew head to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.

You're Going to Bleed: An All-American Black Comedy

Full Price:
$20.00
Our Price:
$10.00

DIVAfest presents Melissa Fall's dark comedy, You're Going to Bleed, about two couples who learn about life, love and what it means to be American the hard way. Anne is trying to get her apathetic husband John in bed, while John is fantasizing about his teenage student Abigail. Meanwhile, Abigail is only fantasizing about having a bigger role in the story and getting her own monologue. Then there's Anne's sister Helen and her husband, whom Anne only married because of his good looks. This drop-dead funny and scathingly honest portrayal of the battle between the sexes is also a delightful skewering of the American theater canon. Before the end there will be a haunting, a glass unicorn will shatter, a dinner party will come to a violent end and -- spoiler alert -- someone is going to bleed. Learn More

I thought Jennifer was very brave to take on this subject...she will probably hate me for saying that. But it true and I commend her for sharing her stories of being Palestinian in the US and being American Palestinian in Palestine. She did a good job of portraying the complicated mess we are all in through her personal stories. Sometimes some of it is so sad, you can only laugh about it. I was very glad to have seen this show and it has given me lots to think about.
