Campus Jihad: The Struggle Within the American University

On the campus of a fictional university, “Campus Jihad” is a full-length play that chronicles the lives of students, faculty, staff, administrators and community members struggling to manage their relationships with each other. As the semester begins, the environment is tense as issues of race, class and faith threaten to boil over. This play is situated at the fault-lines of heated national debates around immigration, citizenship, the “War On Terror”, race relations, Islam and the impacts of gun violence on local communities.
