Show Details
Summary: In partnership with TheaterWorks Hartford and Southern CT State University
Bound by the rule of “English Only,” four adult students gather in an Iranian classroom to prepare for the TOEFL exam—a test that claims to promise new opportunities beyond their country’s borders. As they strive to perfect their English—grappling with grammar, pronunciation, and fluency—the classroom becomes a space where Farsi is quietly suppressed. The Pulitzer Prize–winning play explores connection, assimilation, and the intersection of language and identity, asking audiences: What do we gain when we learn a new language, and at what cost? When we learn another voice, do we leave our own behind?
Location: SCSU Kendall Drama Lab 501 Crescent St, New Haven, CT 06515.
Parking: Free parking is available in Lot 12, adjacent to the Lyman Center.
Duration: 1 hour and 40 minutes, no intermission

Latecomer Policy: Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of management. Late seating may not be available for all shows. To avoid any issues, please plan to arrive at least fifteen minutes before the expected start of the show.
What to Wear: At the theater, we embrace the idea of “come as you are.” Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident—whether that’s casual or dressed up, it’s all about enjoying the show in your own style.
