The Arabian Nights Production in March!

The Arabian Nights is a full-length drama adapted for the stage by Mary Zimmerman from Powys Mather’s translation of The Book of Thousand Nights and One Night. Passionate, playful, provocative storytelling, The Arabian Nights examines the fascinating tale of Scheherazade. In the wake of discovering his queens infidelity cruel King Shahryar has soured on all womankind. Then theres no one left but clever Scheherazade. Can her 1001 cliffhanger stories keep her alive?

The Arabian Nights tells the tale of Scheherezades nightly telling of evocative tales. 1001 nights later the storyteller and listener are forever changed. A twelve-member cast enacts Scheherazade’s tales of love, lust, comedy, and dreams. Scheherazade’s cliffhanger stories prevent her husband, the cruel ruler Shahryar, from murdering her, and after 1,001 nights, Shahryar is cured of his madness, and Scheherazade returns to her family. This adaptation offers a wonderful blend of the lesser-known tales from Arabian Nights with the recurring theme of how the magic of storytelling holds the power to change people. The final scene brings the audience back to a modern day Baghdad with the wail of air raid sirens threatening the rich culture and history that are embodied by these tales.

Our College history reflects the commitment to DEIA and lays a foundation for us to build upon. There is much still left to accomplish in this space to achieve our commitment to equity and inclusion. Together we can identify barriers to inclusion and dismantle them together. 

This year’s Day of learning theme is Moving Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility to Action.   

The tracts for the day are Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility. Definitions below pulled from the DEIA website: https://www.shoreline.edu/about-shoreline/diversity-equity-inclusion.aspx 

Diversity: Typically refers to the wide range of identities within the broad categories of race, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education, marital status, language, veteran status, physical appearance, etc. 

Equity: The act of developing, strengthening, and supporting outcome fairness in resource systems and procedures with a focus on eliminating barriers that have impacted historically marginalized and/or underserved groups. 

Inclusion: The ongoing and adaptable action of providing equitable access, opportunities, and resources for systemically non-dominant groups or individuals in a way that acknowledges and shares power.    

Accessibility:  Creating and advancing the barrier-free design, standards, systems, processes, and environments to provide all individuals, regardless of ability, background, identity, or situation, an effective opportunity to take part in, use and enjoy the benefits of employment, programs, services, activities, communication, facilities, electronic/information technology, and business opportunities.
