Powerful theater production captures the Iraqi refugee struggle by following an American woman's journey interviewing Iraqi refugees in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria and despite everything, falling in love with one.

Kim Schultz has written an amazing and sincere theater production that touches upon the reality that over 4 million Iraqi refugees now face every day. Directed by Sarah Cameron Sunde, featuring live music by Amikaeyla Gaston, lighting and media design by Jeanette Yu and scenic and costume design by Jian Jung, No Place Called Home is a beautiful, riveting, courageous and brutally honest heartfelt production.
The material is incredibly relevant as the New York Times reported http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/02/nyregion/02bigcity.html about both the show and the 50,000 Iraqi refugees living in New York.
