this is my business

The AJYAL Theatrical Group, under the direction of its founder, Najee Mondalek was founded in Michigan in 1988 and has successfully toured New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Houston, Chicago, Toledo, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Windsor, Sydney & Beirut. It is the first Arab-American theatrical group to "take the show on the road" and perform for Arab-American audiences in those cities. Most of AJYAL Theatrical Group' shows poke fun at the everyday lives of Arab-Americans, who have recently become citizens and who are desperately trying to blend into the mainstream of American culture. The plays serve as a forum to help people laugh at their mistakes and mishaps but also to come to terms with social issues facing Arab-Americans, such as their difficulties adjusting to a new culture and lifestyle. These performances, like music, art and other entertainment media, are an important piece of the fabric of Arab-American culture.

These folks found a perfect way to gap the two worlds that we come from together. All their performances are realistic to our everyday life here in America. They are so funny that it makes the transition to this country easier especially for the older generation.

I went to their plays and they made me laugh and cry, they made me laugh more than cry, and made me cry from the laughter, they made me cry of truth, pride, and joy!

Although I did not understand most of their plays because I don't speak Arabic, I got the gist of it from reading the program. I am of Lebanese decent and maybe some day I will attempt to learn Arabic. I admire their intentions and motivations in presenting this play with humor. It's the best way to capture the essence of who we as Arab Americans really are or want to be. Good work.

As an arab american, I feel great to see a team like you performing creative plays stemming from the lifestyle and habits of the arabic community in Dearborn. They are extremely funny, entertaining, creative and show that the arab american in america is capable of doing an impressive job in the entertaining and art industry . I can only ask you to keep the good work and come up with new entertaining ideas.

AJYAL is the BEST theatrical group to come out of the states thus far. They are wonderfully funny and their shows are so realistic and therefore more hilarious than any other comedy I have ever watched. Great work.

The theatrical group brings comedy to Middle Easterners in the Metro Detroit area when the Middle East is in a dark and gloomy era.

I haven't heard of this group before, but last month we got a dvd gift "ME NO TERRORIST" from an Iraqi freind who really likes this group, and as we watched we couldn't stop our laughs or tears. I haven't seen my parents and grandma laugh that much before :) I am really proud of u guys, especially that you are Lebanese... Keep up the good work. Good luck and may God bless u.. I am now a big fan of yours.
p.s. Love the Eim Hussein role!!

I was honored to have had the chance to see one of the theatrical plays on DVD (Me no Terrorist). I was left speechless. The play offered many comical moments as well as many serious moments. What I loved the most was the way that the writer was able to pass on a very important message to all people of all ages. Thank you ATG for helping open the eyes of the future generations, for showing the Arabs that they are not forgotten, and for reaching out to all people.

First of all being one of the best artistic group in Detroit area, this title is an honor for a group coming from a wounded country full of hope and believes. So as a "Lebanese"citizen it will be an honor for me to vote for this group who is nominated for this competition and of course has all the qualification to be one of the best theatrical group in Detroit area.Good Luck Lebanonn.
