A Knock on the Roof

Ready to catch a preview or performance of A KNOCK ON THE ROOF at NYTW? We know our students are! Our amazing partner schools from all over New York City will be joining us for our Student Matinee next month. To help the students (and all of us!) get excited about the show, our Education department has published the latest edition of “The Brief” Study Guide. From ​solo performance to the metric system, the topics covered in the guide will help prepare audiences to understand the weight of Khawla Ibraheem’s character, Mariam, and find commonality in her everyday life, feelings, and obstacles.
