DRAW THE CIRCLE
WINNER OF THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD
The hilarious and deeply moving story of a conservative Muslim mother at her wits’ end, a Muslim father who likes to tell jokes, and a queer American woman trying to make a good impression on her Indian in-laws. In a story about family and love and the things we do to be together, one immigrant family must come to terms with a child who defies their most basic expectations of what it means to have a daughter…and one woman will redefine the limits of unconditional love. This unique play compassionately brings to life the often ignored struggle that a family goes through when their child transitions from one gender to another.

EARTH
THE SHAKING EARTH
When mob violence took over the streets of New Delhi, India, following the assassination of the prime minister, it was said, "when a big tree falls, the earth shakes." Based on the true event of the 1984 anti-Sikh massacres, and told through an intimate lens, this play uncovers the sanctioned violence that took 8,000 lives and the repercussions of that trauma for survivors who fled to the west.

THE BETTERMENT SOCIETY
THE BETTERMENT SOCIETY
Three women on a godforsaken mountain.
This play explores the brutality of the land and how that brutality can affect those who live on it. It is a play that is leaving conventional realism and yet we can still see it as it drives off into the sunset. It is a play about who we are and what kinds of churches we want to build.
