JANUARY 25 – FEBRUARY 25, 2024
Post-Show Discussions
Join us for the show, and stay after the performance for a glimpse into the real-life stories that inspired the character of Taroon, including those of the many Afghan interpreters who worked with the US military over the past few decades. Panelists will explore how Selling Kabul resonates with current events, connecting the Kabul we see in the play to Chicago’s Afghan community today.
