Where is Nahal now?

Nahal escapes.

Nahal Navidar escaped SUNY Albany with her dignity barely intact after a Spring semester in which she was the subject of many damaging rumors and a high-profile Securities and Exchanges Commission investigation. After three weeks on the run, and an intense nationwide manhunt, Nahal settled back into domestic life in Gulderland, New York, when it was discovered that the authorities had confused her with disgraced former Enron CEO Kenneth Lay.

Soon, Nahal received a letter stating that a long-lost great uncle had passed on, leaving Nahal the bulk of his inheritance, because he was an eccentric. Nahal suddenly became the heiress of the Rice Krispy Treat fortune, and with her new-found wealth, left behind the tranquil Guilderland lifestyle and became a notorious New York socialite. A darling of the New York tabloid media, she was often captured on film hand-in-hand with various stars such as Edward Norton, Ryan Seacrest, and, perhaps most infamously, Jude Law, whom she briefly "nannied" for.

Tiring of the constant public scrutiny, fast-paced life, and homeless people on the subway, Nahal left her big-city life after a whirlwind two or three weeks. Going back to Guilderland, she took the remainder of her inheritance (the portion she didn't squander on parties, cars, and glitter lip gloss) and invested in several Hardee's restaurants. After actually visiting a Hardee's, however, and finding nothing to eat because the entire menu was fried in pork fat, Nahal changed all seven of her restaurants to "Nahal's Pita Palaces". They now offer the most diverse hummus selection in the Tri-City area, as well as a copy of 110 Flights on DVD with every kids' meal.

Nahal now oversees the Pita Palaces, and spends her free time writing and thinking about how much better her play would have been if not for all the "idiots" messing with it. Every once in a while, she calls me to tell me I'm wrong, and that she should be featured more on my website.

See 110 Flights.

Nahal Navidar, exiled Cuban revolutionary, and beer-swillin', cigar-suckin' playwright, is proud to bring you the premiere of 110 Flights, an original full-length play in which the multitalented scribe also co-stars. 110 Flights is the story of an Iranian grad student married to an Irish police officer (Ian Sullivan), and how the tragedy of September 11 , 2001 effects their lives.

110 Flights has been called "the best student-written work produced at Albany this year", and the VelvetBagel.com Theatre Review Staff has termed it "really, really good and you should all go see it". The Theatre Review Staff also just had a weird deja vu for some reason, and will get back to you when he can figure out what it was. The ASP can be expected to write perhaps a half-assed synopsis of the play a couple weeks after it closes.

The real moral is: go see 110 Flights. It's a damn good play, Nahal's a damn good playwright, and the work of the cast and crew is incredible oh yeah and I have a voiceover role (two sentences). And dig that program!
