Little Syria

A genre-blending theater show by Omar Offendum that brings to life the history of a once-thriving Arab-American neighborhood in Lower Manhattan through hip-hop, oud, and storytelling. Featuring English and Arabic narration, the performance weaves archival audio, poetry, and music to celebrate the cultural legacy of early Syrian, Lebanese, and Palestinian immigrants. It’s a moving tribute to immigrant resilience that has captivated audiences across the U.S. with its powerful mix of history and contemporary sound.
