Word Up!: Playwriting with Farah Dinga and Wahida Hamdard

Word Up! returns to The Old Globe's outdoor Copley Plaza for the first program in 2022. This pandemic-era project of the Globe's AXIS and Arts Engagement division features Mad Libs-inspired collaboration, audience participation, interdisciplinary creativity and lots of special guests.

Hosted by the Globe's Laura Zee, Sunday's program will be a playwriting collaboration featuring the South West Asian and North African (SWANA) communities in the region, including guest teaching artist Farah Dinga and student and former Afghan refugee Wahida Hamdard — plus other guests. Most Word Up! events feature a live DJ or musical performance, too. Regulars Ric Scales, Miki Vale and Valeria Vega will also appear.

The in-person event will be concurrently livestreamed on the Globe's YouTube channel.
