Be My Guest - Ahla w Sahla (Welcome in Arabic) is a mixture of a storytelling and an improvisational theater performance. The host, guest, and audience members listen to and share stories about hospitality, being hosts, and guests. And sometimes we see scenes inspired by all the stories shared come to life on stage.

The Show.
In Be My Guest, Raffi Feghali is a guest who is invited to perform at a theater. However, he invites a player from the theater to play with him and he becomes a host. Together, they host an audience member, who shares a story, and they explore the notions of “hosts” and “guests” through sharing their own stories and improvising scenes inspired by all the stories shared.
