POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Our cast and some of our crew came together for a table reading of *The Artifact*, with Mamadou and Nico bringing the characters to life!

It was a wonderful evening of hearing the script read aloud, exchanging perspectives, and spending time together, for some of us, meeting for the very first time!

Grateful for this talented group of collaborators and looking forward to the work ahead! ❤️

And it takes a community to bring a film to life. We’d love for you to be part of ours! Follow along for more behind-the-scenes moments @filmtheartifact

It’s 2023 and the local theater club at the predominantly South Asian high school in Edison, New Jersey is putting on GREASE!

The classic American assimilation musical makes waves with the student actors, their high school society, and the immigrant parent audiences who are in their own adolescent years in this new country. There’s high school drama, life imitating art, and everyone is forced to ask - what does it truly take to fit in?

A solo show inspired by the real-life production of GREASE at JP Stevens High School in Edison, NJ - also known as Little India. Drawing from a series of interviews of the cast, parents, and the surrounding community, as well as the playwright’s own experiences as a brown Jersey girl and certified theater kid, GREASEY is a tapestry of vibrant and brave South Asians, and what it takes to define yourself as an immigrant in America.

This season has been filled with workshops, readings, and the chance to help bring a lot of new plays to life.

One of the things I love most about new play development is getting to be in the room before a play finds its final shape. It’s a chance to ask questions, try things, throw things out, and discover what’s actually on the page. Every room is different, and every playwright has their own process. It’s one of my favorite parts of this job.

Feeling grateful to have spent time with these writers, directors, and collaborators this season, and excited to watch these plays continue their journeys.
