2025 New Georgia Group Award-winner Arwa Abdelrahman (A.B. Theatre, ‘28) presents The Finest Hour. Layla is a graduating senior whose inability to juggle her various identities comes to head amid questions of grief, racial pressures, sisterhood, and companionship. Is she a present sister? An obedient daughter? A dedicated student? Is it even possible to be everything at once? As Layla is faced with an impending reckoning, she is forced to wonder if her time has finally run out.
