Dishwasher Dreams – A Solo Performance of Aladdin Ullah

Dishwasher Dreams –  A Solo Performance of Aladdin Ullah

Auditioning to play a terrorist in a major Hollywood movie may be stand-up comedian Aladdin’s big break. As he prepares for his audition, he finds himself thinking back on his deceased father, who left Bangladesh for a better life in New York, and his parents’ futile attempts to raise him Muslim in Spanish Harlem. Accompanied by the tabla, Aladdin takes us on a hilarious and moving journey about art, immigration, family, the Yankees and the nature of the American dream.

Join Modern-Day Griot Theatre Company and celebrate everything Griot as three amazing storytellers grace our stage and share their compelling stories in our first ever one-person show festival.
