"I've had a lot of thoughts and feelings going through me over the past few days, and one word that keeps popping up is: privileged. I feel so privileged to have been part of this experience. I can honestly say that this was a transformative experience for me. That is something I rarely say. But in this case it's really true. As another cast member said last night, there are things you know intellectually, but you don't fully understand until you feel them in your gut. I had moments during our plays when that flash of gut understanding came to me, and I know that those insights will stay with me and change how I see and do things. That is a true gift.”
Avril Orloff, participant and cast member in Palestine, Israel and Me May, 2006

A Power Play by Canadian-Palestinians, Jews (and others) on how the struggle
for a just peace in the Middle East affects their lives in Canada.

A collaboration between Headlines Theatre and Jews for a Just Peace and the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Church of Vancouver. The project was endorsed by the Canada Palestine Association and the Palestine Community Centre of BC.
