ON MY DEEN
West Philly. Spring 1962. Faye Ann has just joined the Nation of Islam, setting her life on a whole new path. Her best friend, Michael, would like to be a lot more than friends, but the two can’t seem to agree on religion, politics, or even what makes a good pie. Over the passing decades, personal circumstances and cultural upheavals bring Faye Ann and Michael together as much as they keep them apart. Can these would-be lovers find each other while seeking their own paths to peace?
PLEASE NOTE: THE PHILLY CYCLE is a new three-part play commission project set to produce live performances over the next three years. Sponsored by THE WILLIAM PENN FOUNDATION.
*Saturday performances of ON MY DEEN will be held at 10am & 3pm in observance of prayer.
ON MY DEEN was written about and with Philadelphia’s Black Muslim Community. Learn all about the underrepresented Philly communities set to be featured in the PHILLY CYCLE at interacttheatre.org
