The world premiere new play
A Crack in the Sky,
now playing at St. Paul's History Theatre, teams up Ahmed Ismail Yusef, author of the book
Somalis in Minnesota, with Playwrights' Center core writer
Harrison David Rivers* to tell Ahmed's very personal and very relatable story of being a Somali immigrant in America. The play was workshopped and read last year as part of History Theatre's Raw Stages series, and has now come beautifully to full life in this production. It's a play that's funny and playful, short and sweet, and tells a very human story of a man striving to make a better life for himself and his family, while pursuing his love of knowledge and storytelling.
