Freedom, but at what cost? A Palestinian immigrant and her family find more freedom in the US than expected. A true-life show written and performed by Laila Lee, directed by Bill Pats.
In this one-woman show, Laila brings to light her experiences growing up Muslim in the South, and how she discovers her own place in the world and what sacrifices she must make.
A first-timer to Winnipeg, Laila studied theatre at the University of South Florida after abandoning her medical degree. In 2019, she won Most Courageous at Shameless Stories in Tampa.
“Devastating and satisfying”

You get an online friend request...from yourself. Then your life is turned into a living nightmare. This friend request is real...but it's not from you. Who could it be?
It's ten years later since The Light Bringer, Laila Lee, made peace with her past.
Or has she?
Decisions, sacrifices, and fallouts all have a way of coming full circle.
From harrowing high-speed chases to virtual manhunts, the pursuit continues as Laila races with time to find clues to her cyberstalker.
What will she find?
