Uprising Theater presents:

The Olive Tree

Attend a staged reading of The Olive Tree, a true story of a Jewish American woman's journey that takes her from a Birthright trip to Israel to living in a Palestinian refugee camp.

The performance is followed by a Q&A with Professor Iymen Chehade.

Join us on Sunday, January 14th, for a Teach-in and Movement Workshop with Professor Chehade.
