When the Moment Comes is a powerful play about resilience, faith, and justice.
Touring from Anchorage, AK, DramaforaChange presents this moving production at the Rainier Arts Center, June 19-21, 2025.
Directed by Tamara Rothman the play tells the true story of Ruhi Jahanpour, an Iranian Bahá’í woman imprisoned for her beliefs after the 1979 revolution. Her journey, alongside ten cellmates executed in 1983, highlights the intersection of gender equality, religious freedom, and human rights.
Part of the global #OurStoryIsOne campaign, it honors those fighting for justice worldwide. Don’t miss this poignant reflection on courage in the face of adversity.
Join us for an informal pre-show reception, one hour before each performance, to view a display outlining the personal history of each of the imprisoned martyrs and connect with community members. Each performance will be followed by a Q&A led by Ruhi Jahanpour.
