Paradise

Central Square Theater
450 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge

In Paradise, Yasmeen, a Muslim-American teenager in the Bronx, meets with her teacher Dr. Royston, a mysterious scientist forced to teach high school biology. If she salvages her perfect score, she can claim her independence -- pursue her passion for science while honoring her cultural traditions. An unlikely, inspired partnership is created and adolescent romantic love is investigated. Clashes arise out of their conflicts over religion, science and mentorship as both teacher's and student's lives are transformed forever. Produced by the Underground Railway Theater, Paradise plays at Cambridge's Central Square Theater.
