ABOUT THIS SHOW

Ibrahim is the average 30-something Queer Arab American Muslim who is constantly being reminded how unmarried he is by his relentlessly caring immigrant mother, Sara. Having helped raise his smart, popular, hijabi cheerleading younger sister Lena, Ibrahim has always been comfortable sinking into the background. Normal job, quiet life, easy men. But on the precipice of finding what could be his first real relationship, Sara feels compelled to take Ibrahim's future into her own hands by attempting to find the perfect man for him to marry. Mosque4Mosque is a comedy about a normal Muslim American family that asks us to wrestle with what we believe normal to be.

Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s SCOUT is a play development program dedicated to supporting new American plays by a diverse group of emerging and established playwrights who are new to Steppenwolf. Each year we select one project to receive a 3-5 day workshop, during which the playwright works with one or more members of the Steppenwolf ensemble to develop their play. This initiative, which serves as an incubator for season programming, culminates in a public reading.
