HOUSTON

 

HOUSTON chronicles two families dealing with leukemia: a Jewish family from Chicago and a Muslim family from Jordan. As the two fathers are isolated in a hospital bubble, waiting for a life-saving bone marrow transplant, MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, TX, becomes the backdrop for an unusual, and often funny, love story between their children, and an uncommon, but beautiful friendship between their wives, who are able to find true connection, and kindred spirits in one another.

Houston is a play - with music; a modern love story between a Jewish girl and a Jordanian boy set against the backdrop of their fathers undergoing bone marrow transplants at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. The play won the NAMA Award. 

“At its core, it is a universal love story, and it needed to be told.”

— Jasper Grant, B-Side Productions
