What to do? If you've been following their comical cultural adjustments to American life, you can anticipate some hilarious situations in 'Shoufou Alwawa Wayn' when they face foreclosure and a host of related money problems. 'Shoufou Alwawa Wayn' by AJWAL Theatrical Group will be performed in 2010-2011 in many cities in USA, Canada and Australia. AJYAL Theatrical Group, the first Arab-American theatre group in North America, has been in existence since 1988, staging many comedy productions over the years. Most of AJYAL Theatrical Group's shows poke fun at the everyday lives of Arab-Americans who are desperately trying to blend into the mainstream of American culture. The plays serve as a forum to help people laugh at their mistakes and mishaps but also to come to terms with social issues facing Arab-Americans.

Now, pairing Mozart’s most dramatic Symphony with another world premiere, LACO recreates that excitement for the 10th anniversary of the Orchestra’s Sound Investment commissioning program. Derek Bermel’s features the soulful vocals of Brazilian-born Luciana Souza’s in his genre- ending new work. Jeffrey Kahane and concertmaster Margaret Batjer start off the evening with Mendelssohn’s joyful Double Concerto, demonstrating the camaraderie intrinsic to the LACO experience. Grammy®-winner Luciana Souza “continues her captivating journey as a uniquely talented vocalist who organically crosses genre borders. Her music soulfully reflects, wistfully regrets, romantically woos, joyfully celebrates…” (Billboard Magazine) Margaret Batjer displays “artistic polish…her intonation is very nearly flawless.” (Seattle Times) LACO composer-in-residence Derek Bermel is a “brilliant musical vagabond [who] has made the sounds of the world his palette to create a singular artistic vision.” (Sequenza 21) http://www.alextheatre.org/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=391 Sat, 14 May 2011 00:00:00 -0500
