THE UNKNOWN VARIABLE
by Nahal Navidar
Directed by Jacob C. Shuler
https://www.thisismomentary.com/unknownvariable

Separated from her bābā in Iran and living in a strange new land, a determined young girl contacts the President, Santa Claus, and God to determine the unknown variable—when her father will be granted a Green Card from the United States so they can be reunited.

This new play by Nahal Navidar explores the fractured nature of time and memory through the lens of familial separation. The playwright offers a window into the future and the lifelong trauma the parent and child experience when they are stripped of their most instinctive human need.

Run Time: 90 minutes with no intermission
