THE BROWN MUSICAL: A New Brown Musical (formerly Salaam Medina: Tales of a Halfghan)
Book, music and Lyrics by Rona Siddiqui

Half Afghan, half Italian U.S. citizen, Medina Eskandani and her family are arguing their whiteness in front of The Honorable Yankee Doodle Dandy. They draw evidence from their very American experiences -- from body hair to airport security to pesky head scarves and more. Will performing their stories in front of the court keep them from being deported? THE BROWN MUSICAL: A New Brown Musical is a vaudevillian musical romp through a racial identity crisis, as a family argues for their American "cred" card.
