Afghanistan culture showcased on The Kite Runner Broadway!

July 25, 2022

The outpouring and incredible support of The Kite Runner on Broadway has sparked a conversation about Afghan culture that pulls away from what many consider the country to encompass. I am excited to have been a part of this production that is unlike anything Broadway has seen before.

For me, as this production made its way to NYC, it struck me on a personal level. Watch the video to see this incredible project shine a new light on an emotional tale driven by heart and redemption.

Now that The Kite Runner is on Broadway, the outpouring of support for our production has been immense and really puts into perspective why this story needs to be told on all platforms. As I attended the opening, here are some highlights and exciting moments!
