Submissions Sought of Directors and Actors:

We are seeking directors and actors for our sketch comedy night. If interested, please send your materials (resume/headshot) by November 29, 2007 to submissions@arabcomedy.org.

Our not for profit Festival has grown through the support of the Arab-American community from its humble beginnings in 2003 when it was only three nights and approximately 400 people attended to last year's six night Festival which was attended by over 1000 people. This year, as with the last four Festivals, our goals are to showcase the talented Arab-American performers as well as create an event that will attract positive media coverage for our community. Over the past four years, our Festival has been fortunate enough to have received positive media coverage for the participants and our community in media outlets from CNN to Al Jaezzera, from the New York Times to the Beirut Daily Star (and numerous papers in between), and from NPR to the BBC. We plan to make our 5th anniversary Festival the biggest and most visible to date.
