Mosque is the story of a Palestinian immigrant father and his first generation American son. Set in NYC in the summer of 2010 amidst the Ground Zero Mosque controversy, an overheard conversation sets in motion a series of actions that will change this father and son forever. Mosque explores what it means to be American in a post 9/11 world, what it means to be part of a family, and how one decides to define oneself. Mosque makes its Colorado premiere in a limited run at the Bakery Arts Warehouse.
