Diaspora Arts Connection proudly presents Zahra Noorbakhsh’s “All Atheists are Muslim,” written and performed by Zahra Noorbakhsh, directed by Lisa Marie Rollins, developed with W. Kamau Bell.

About the show: Can Zahra have her Atheist and stay Muslim too? You see, it’s time for Zahra and Dylan to move in together. Dylan doesn’t know this, but Zahra does. She’s sure of it mostly. And even if she’s not 100% sure, she knows he’ll need some time ruminating, deliberating Oops, Dylan actually said yes! And he wants to move in now! That’s OK, that’s OK. In fact, that’s good. Right? Now, Zahra just needs to mention to her parents that it makes perfect sense for Dylan to move in with her. That’s right, she just needs to let her immigrant, Iranian, Muslim parents know that her Southern Californian, white, Atheistnon-believing, infidel boyfriend who she has no intention of marrying anytime soon – should move in with her. And in the process, she doesn’t want to get disowned or forced into an arranged marriage or end up stoned in a ditch in her parent’s backyard. Indeed, it’s just your everyday story of “boy meets girl” meets thousands of years of cultural tradition and religious doctrine. You may even find out you’re more Muslim than you think!
