Someone Special
“Beta, have you found anyone special yet”??
Ugh, the dread question all singletons fear. If you’re anything like most of the other single, educated, worldly desis, you may have very well met several special someones. Unfortunately THAT is not going to appease the parents.
As part of its SALAAM 3rd Mondays series (S3M), SALAAM (South Asian League of Artists in America) Theatre in NYC, invites you to explore the sad state of such affairs tonight in a reading of the one act play, Marrying Nandini, written by and starring Nandita Shenoy. In the play Nandini’s parents decide to grab the bull by the horns and fill out a profile for their daughter on match.com. In doing so, they get a more than they bargained for, and of course hijinks and shenanigans ensue.
For 7 years, the non-profit theatre celebrates South Asian culture through plays, readings, fundraisers, collaborating with artists such as Karmacy, Bobby Friction and organizations such as Project Ahimsa. Of course, as a non-profit, SALAAM always needs your help. Writers can submit their work for consideration in S3M. Non-writers, you can donate money, goods, or just plain volunteer.
If all that desi love isn’t enough to get you in the mood, just think of all the vegetarian samosas and refreshments you can have after the reading. Sublime.
