SHARUM
Donation protected
Hello!
UNCOMMON;YOU is an NYC arts collective focused on fostering and producing art for under-represented POC artists.
As such we are producing a documentary theatre piece titled “SHARUM", which will have its first Off-Broadway run at Players Theatre from July 11th-July 27th.
Sharum (stylized as SHARUM) is a documentary theatre piece that follows a Muslim family based in Queens, New York. The story follows the wedding of the oldest daughter, Mariam. Throughout the events of the wedding, all 4 of the siblings are forced to come face to face with the reality of their identities, battling the stigmas around mental health, arranged marriages, drug addiction, and queerness. In the midst of this ceremony, these secrets get exposed to each other and the community around them. SHARUM recalls true events in these scenarios that capture the responses of their parents, and the ways it permanently affects their family dynamic.
We are raising money to raise and cover director salaries, production salaries, actors’ salaries, set, costumes, and other incidentals. If you donate $25 or more, we will invite you to one of our dress rehearsals.
