“How to Have Fun in a Civil War” – A Play for Kids and Adults

Somali-American playwright and performer Ifrah Mansour resides in Minnesota, and comes from the world of puppetry and the life-changing experience of surviving a civil war and immigrating to the United States. Her play, “How to Have Fun in a Civil War” is told from the perspective of a young girl, and the story — though visceral and moving — is suitable for kids and adults alike. It’s a captivating one-woman play, a story of resilience and survival.

“How to Have Fun In a Civil War” offers a voice to refugees — and child refugees in particular — and contextualizes the experience for non-refugees in a way that cultivates understanding and empathy for those who survive such life-changing events. Artists like Ifrah Mansour speak to the community-building that underpins much of the work of the Chocolate Church Arts Center, and this performance will be a memorable one.
