Spinning out of the media hailstorm surrounding Lorena Bobbitt, who became a sensation after she infamously used a kitchen knife against her husband in 1993, this play showcases the tacky dystopia of American pop culture in a series of funhouse vignettes that know no bounds. In this time traveling adventure, Ami vows to save the world from MSG and realizes what she's capable of, if she would just stop being invisible. Meanwhile, a mysterious new girl arrives from Japan. But her world comes crashing down with a terrible discovery: her family is responsible for manufacturing MSG, the poison spice getting all the kids hooked. It's 1999, and Ami is an awkward Japanese American high school girl, just trying to stay as invisible as possible. Forced to cover her tracks with more lies, Khady gambles with the trust of the people she loves most-her coach, her boyfriend, and her mother-in the name of winning at all costs. As the championship game draws near, the media spotlight threatens to expose Khady’s deception. Little does Khady know her mother will go public with the story of her fast, portraying Khady as a heroine for young Muslim women everywhere. The ambitious Khady sees only one way forward: lie and pretend to follow Ramadan. No food, no water, no anger, not even on game days. But this year’s March Madness coincides with Ramadan, and Khady’s devout mother expects her to fast. This play asks, "How can we teach history when people have two versions of the present?" AMERICAN FASTĬollege basketball phenom Khady Salama is about to compete in the NCAA Women’s Championships. Loner and grungy Muslim-American student Jennah has just transferred to a small Michigan high school, and during the weeks immediately following the 2016 election, she struggles to find her place as she embarks on a battle of wills against a popular History and Civics teacher.
