One Family in Gaza in Tacoma, WA

  • First United Methodist Church 621 Tacoma Avenue South Tacoma, WA, 98402 United States (map)

Join us at the First United Methodist Church, 621 Tacoma Ave, South Tacoma, WA for an original play by Crystal Zevon. This non-fiction drama is based on the friendship between Zevon and a young father in Gaza. The story is told through their correspondence since the fall of 2023, reflecting Zevon’s efforts to help the family intertwined with short news reports that give context to the letters. The main focus is the messages received from Yasser, the young father, which, while telling a story that in some ways reflects universal truths about living through any war, offers insights into this particular conflict. Not unlike The Diary of Anne Frank, the piece is a rare telling of a war experience in real time, calling upon us to never forget our common humanity.
