“In these dark times, cultural and community sustenance of the kind found in the ATC's production of 'Under the Tree,' is so precious it's like a lifeline to a happy place where it's still possible to dream for something better.”

“It was indeed such a lovely "Oumssiyyeh", a reminiscence of the old days between the smell of bakhour and zaatar, a spectacle for the eyes with poignant and impressive visual and sounds, an immersive and delightful music and melody that moved my heart to joy and trepidation!Thank you for sharing your audacious and genuine artistry with us and making this night amemorable one in the heart of Granville where it should happen more regularly!I really LOVED being there that night and feeling the wonderful energy all around us imbued with bakhour and yasmine”
