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.

EVENTS AND NEWS  

Good afternoon all- hope your week is off to a great start. I wanted to thank everyone who came out to the challenges and accomplishments meeting last week. It was great to see so many people on ZOOM engaged with the community. There were a couple questions in CHAT from that meeting which I will post at the end of this message. I also did my monthly video update this week- if you haven’t seen it – you can see it here. 

I also want to thank VP Melanie Dixon & Aisha Hauser for taking us through a healing space this week with a specific focus on the impact of the horrible brutality that Tyre Nichols recently suffered. We also discussed gaps at this institution that need to be addressed to do DEI work. There will be additional healing spaces in the near future if you were unable to join. 

In addition, this week I had a great meeting with Guru Dorje who works through King County as an Administrator/Director CECO programming here at Shoreline. Guru has a wonderful vision and I expect to continue to learn from him and work with Dean John Molinaro and others on great projects to serve the community! 

ET is continuing our intercultural communication training this week and specifically focused on onboarding our new colleague as VP of DEI. The two-hour training was helpful as we thought through how we would work together and prioritize DEI work across the college, not in silos. 

I hope you all are well. Next week I am off to DC to continue to advocate for staff and faculty and legislation that supports our system. I will fill you in when I return. Thanks for all you do.
