Invitation to “Mosque Alert” On Stage

Invitation_MosqueAlert_SilkRoadRising-page-001You’ll recall that our friends from Silk Road Rising have been giving us an inside glimpse at the development of their challenging “Mosque Alert” play over the last 9 months.  In May of last year they introduced us to some characters in a 20-minute video presentation, and in October they shared a read-through of the script, presented by students at North Central College (my wife and I went – wonderful evening!).

The play is now ready for stage presentation and out of gratitude for our encouragement along the way, Malik has invited NTDO members to enjoy it at a generous discount.  Here’s a (lightly edited) email Malik sent to me and Dianne last week.

Good morning Dianne and Steve,

Well, I can’t believe it but it’s true: “Mosque Alert,” the stage play, will begin performances in about two weeks! I want to thank you and everyone at Naperville Democrats for their feedback as we were developing the play; and, much gratitude to Steve for also attending the staged reading at North Central College (the play has changed since then as a result of audience feedback).  … An invitation is attached (we run for 6 weeks). …

“Mosque Alert” will perform at Silk Road Rising in downtown Chicago (77 W Washington St, Lower Level, Chicago, IL 60602) from March 24th thru May 1st. Performance times are:

  • Thursdays at 7:30pm
  • Fridays at 8pm
  • Saturdays at 4pm
  • Sundays at 4pm

I’m hoping members of Naperville Democrats will come support the show. I’d like to offer a $10 discount per regular ticket (use discount code <check with Steve for the code> when buying tickets online at www.mosquealert.org). Additionally, we offer $8 parking near our theatre for those driving (3 blocks west of us at Self Park).

Your ticket rate for previews (March 24th thru April 1st) will be $15 ($25 per ticket to the general public). Your ticket rates for regular run (April 2nd thru May 1st) will be $25 per ticket ($35 per ticket to the general public). Student tickets are $12.50 for previews and $15 for the run (Steve, it would be great if you could bring your kids!).

Our intimate theatre seats 80. Due to its small size, we don’t hold tickets. I would appreciate you encouraging NTDO members to buy tickets as soon as possible (visit www.mosquealert.org to purchase tickets; when buying, enter discount code <check with Steve for the code> to receive $10 discount per ticket – this discount is deeper than our group sales discount). There are no fees to buy online.

To learn more (directions, parking, etc), just visit our play website: www.mosquealert.org

Thank you for helping us spread the word; excited to host you at the theatre.

Best,

Malik
