Sacramento Premiere
It’s 2008, and four Iranians assemble triweekly in a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) class in Karaj, Iran. The students are led by Marjan, an anglophile who abolishes Farsi from her classroom. They translate Ricky Martin and endure major preposition confusion; they discover how to be funny in English and ponder what they will lose in the process. As the class slowly devolves into a linguistic mess, some students cling tighter to their mother tongue while others embrace the possibilities of a new language.
NY TIMES CRITIC’S PICK! “A rich new play… both contemplative and comic, it nails every opportunity for big laughs as its English-learning characters struggle with accents and idioms. But the laughter provides cover for the deeper idea that their struggle is not just linguistic.” –THE NEW YORK TIMES

It’s The Claw season once again 🙌🍂🍁 and some genius on Reddit suggested an official Claw Day fest w rides, and Wht Claws, and actual Claws, and maybe a clawfish boil. It’s a great idea. There could be a Claw parade and of course Claw driver competitions. Endless possibilities and it would be good fun.
