Off-Market Theater
The Off-Market Theater consists of two small black-box spaces, which have played host to "nomadic" theater companies, sketch and improv groups, spoken-word artists and musicians.
Off-Market Theater (San Francisco, CA)
Jennifer Jajeh brings her comedic solo show about life as a single, Catholic, Palestinian-American woman to San Francisco. In I Heart Hamas: And Other Things I'm Afraid to Tell You, Jajeh recounts a trip back to her parents' hometown in the West Bank while weaving in an honest and funny examination of topics from dating to politics to identity.

Absolutely Spectacular! Jennifer did an incredible job with the show. It makes you laugh so hard you cry.

It was an entertaining and enlightening show (and very sad). I encourage you to see it and perhaps hear a different POV then we're used to hearing in the US.

What a great play! Highly courageous, creative, funny, and enlightening. As Americans, we think we know about the rest of the world, e.g. Palestine. But what we think we know is usually based on false ideas and/or cartoonish oversimplifications. See Palestine and Palestinian identity through the eyes of a very bright, beautiful woman who is a very talented and entertaining storyteller, a gifted actor, and a cogent observer of human foibles.

Written by and starring Jennifer Jajeh
Directed by W. Kamau Bell The critically acclaimed play I Heart Hamas: And Other Things I’m Afraid to Tell You, an introspective one-woman show on life as a Palestinian-American, makes its San Francisco premiere at the Off-Market Theater.
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 Jajeh 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 humor, slides, pop culture references and live theatre, Jajeh explores how she becomes Palestinian-ized, then politicized and eventually radicalized in a fresh, often funny, searingly honest way.
I Heart Hamas: And Other Things I’m Afraid To Tell You, recognized by NYTheatre.com as “a fascinating look into a world we don’t often see or hear about,” made its world premiere in 2008 as a part of New York’s International Fringe Festival.
