George Fox University Theatre welcomes the university community to its production of The Hijabis. Performances in Wood-Mar Auditorium are scheduled as follows:

• Friday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m.
• Saturday and Sunday, April 9-10, at 2 p.m.

Synopsis
Maya, Nadia and Leen, three best friends from college, are now living their mid-20s dreams in suburban Chicago. Leen is a fashion designer who owns a fashion boutique. Maya works as an office assistant in a dental office, and Nadia is a teacher at a local Montessori school.

Life after college isn’t what any of the women expected, but what unites them in their struggles is their love for ice cream, their penchant for laughter, and their commitment to wearing their hijabs as a reflection of their faithfulness to God. Unfortunately, their lives are upended when their mosque is desecrated by locals from the community. Their responses to this event change the course of their lives.

Special Ticket Options for Students, Faculty and Staff
Students may acquire free tickets for our 2 p.m. Saturday, April 9, performance in Wood-Mar Auditorium.

George Fox faculty and staff are entitled to one free ticket for the run of the show. Both options may be selected when you purchase or select your tickets in our online ticketing system. Please use your George Fox email address when ordering.
