ABOUT THE SHOW
“I’m going to go out on that court and be a champion. Everything that happened will get erased. I mean who doesn’t love a winner?”
Khady is a total star on the basketball court, and she’s even scored herself a chance at the NCAA Women’s Championship title. However, she’s keeping a secret that is sure to land her in hot water. American Fast by Kareem Fahmy is a thrilling examination of what it means to be true to yourself, and overcoming the weight of expectation.
REVIEWS
“Captivating. Brimming with compelling tension and intricate dynamics.”
—Broad Street Review
“In [Fahmy's] skillful hands, AMERICAN FAST entertains and enlightens, and is never preachy, as it races through an imaginary March Madness in a very American Ramadan.”
—Portland Tribune
