Domestic Crusaders Returning to NYC

From Before Columbus Foundation:

The Domestic Crusaders is returning to NYC for a special engagement the weekend of the 10th anniversary of September 11.

The Domestic Crusaders, written by Wajahat Ali, the first major play published about a Muslim Pakistani American family living in post-911 era, will be performed at Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College where it will headline their  “Art of Justice: 9/11 Performance Project.”

Performing on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 on a large NYC stage will be very powerful. This opportunity is a very important to heal wounds through art and culture. This play has repeatedly proven its ability to bridge divides and initiate important conversations concerning identity, politics, religion, race and bigotry. 

We are grateful to the Open Society Foundation for generously supporting this endeavor.  We also have some very significant private individuals, but we need your support too.

We are in the last stages of fundraising and need to raise $5,000 for discretionary funding like travel and accommodations for the cast. I hope you will support me and the play like you have in the past.

We would be grateful for any level of donation. Please donate through paypal to the Foundation that sponsors us – the nonprofit organization “The Before Columbus Foundation” – beforecf@gmail.com. Your contributions are tax free – the tax ID  is 94-2534340.
