Limbo

Tickets on sale!

Limbo is a wry and poignant observation of the refugee experience set on a fictional remote Scottish island, where a group of new arrivals awaits the results of their asylum claims. It centers on Omar (Amir El-Masry), a young Syrian musician burdened by his grandfather’s oud—the king of Arabic music instruments—which he has carried all the way from his homeland. Limbo is “hilariously sad, and a love note to the displaced” (Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com).

Due to our limited screening schedule and seating capacity restrictions, we strongly encourage patrons to buy tickets online in advance to avoid getting sold out. The theater box office will reopen on May 12.
