This June, InterAct Theatre Company and Theatre in the X proudly present the world premiere of ON MY DEEN, an evocative and intimate new play written by Antu Yacob and directed by Amina Robinson in collaboration with Philadelphia’s Black Muslim community.
West Philly. Spring 1962. Faye Ann (Satchel Williams) has just joined the Nation of Islam, setting her life on a whole new path. Her best friend, Michael (Travoye Joyner), would like to be a lot more than friends, but the two can’t seem to agree on religion, politics, or even what makes a good pie. Over the passing decades, personal circumstances and cultural upheavals bring Faye Ann and Michael together as much as they keep them apart. Can these would-be lovers find each other while seeking their own paths to peace?
Performances of ON MY DEEN will take place at the Proscenium Theatre at The Drake, 302 S. Hicks Street, from June 6 – 28, 2025
Saturday performances of ON MY DEEN will be held at 10am & 3pm in observance of prayer. Tickets are available at https://www.interacttheatre.
