Culture Project's Women Center Stage LEILA BUCK IN THE CROSSING March 17th – 20th, 27th Thursday and Friday at 7:30pm, Saturday and Sunday the 20th at 3pm, Sunday the 27th at 12pm Welcome to the annual gathering of the International Society for Intercultural Dialogue and Education! Leila, a Lebanese-American writer/performer, and her husband Adam, an artist from a Jewish family, have been invited here by Joan, the president of the board (and Adam’s aunt) to present their experiences in Lebanon during the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah war. But as the evening unfolds in unexpectedly humorous and dangerous ways, the biggest conflict this family must face is the one between them. An interactive dialogue about the personal in the political, and how their intersection shapes who we are. Written and Performed by Leila Buck With Adam Green, Kathryn Kates, and Maya Serhan Directed and developed by Shana Gold ABOUT LEILA: Photo: Meredith Zimmerman Leila Buck is an actress, writer and teaching artist who has worked at and with the Public Theater (New Work Now! 2006), Epic Theatre Ensemble, the Brooklyn Museum, Chautauqua Institution, Cherry Lane, Wilma Theater (Barrymore Award, Scorched) and New York Theatre Workshop (Drama League nomination, Aftermath, NY production and European tour).
