In his solo show, Aladdin Ullah reflects on the struggles of his immigrant parents, their determination to raise him Muslim in the poor housing projects of Spanish Harlem, and his determination to follow his own path.
At the top of "Dishwasher Dreams," Aladdin Ullah is on the verge of his big break. He is auditioning for a role in a major Hollywood movie. The rub: the producer wants him to play a terrorist.
