IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0REORIENT FESTIVAL AND FORUM (ReOrient) The ReOrient Festival of Short Plays was inaugurated in 1999 to present alternative perspectives of the Middle East and to showcase the multiplicity of stories, voices and styles from the region and has since becomes Golden Threads most recognized and celebrated program. This ambitious festival, now presented biennially, turns San Francisco into a Mecca for innovative, spirited, and thought-provoking theatre from and about the Middle East. Alongside Middle Eastern voices, ReOrient also features the work of non-Middle Eastern playwrights. In 2009, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the festival, Golden Thread has organized the ReOrient Forum, a weekend-long convening in San Francisco aimed at expanding the dialogue on theatre, the Middle East, and current hot topics that illuminate the regions relationship with the US.
