Amal Walks Across America - Houston

ONE LITTLE GIRL. ONE BIG HOPE.

LITTLE AMAL WILL BE VISITING HOUSTON ON OCTOBER 19

Little Amal, the internationally-celebrated 12-foot-tall puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl, will be arriving in Houston on October 19 as part of her epic 6,000-mile journey across the United States this fall. Throughout the two-month trek, which will span more than 35 U.S. cities and towns for 100+ events, some of the country’s most influential cultural institutions and artists will come together to greet Amal and add their unique color to the rich tapestry of America’s story.

During her stop in Houston, Afsaneh Aayani, Alley Theatre, Brave Little Company, DiverseWorks, Ensemble Theatre, Sherry Cheng, and Collaborating Voices Foundation will create a series of theatrical “events of welcome” for Amal. All events along the route are an open invitation to the people of the towns and cities Amal is visiting.
